    Curcumin promotes AApoAII amyloidosis and peroxisome proliferation in mice by activating the PPARα signaling pathway

    Jian Dai, Ying Li ... Keiichi Higuchi
    Curcumin regulates gene expression via PPARa activation and exhibits biological activities involved in amyloidosis, peroxisome proliferation, lipid metabolism, and hepatocyte hypertrophy.

    Fatal amyloid formation in a patient’s antibody light chain is caused by a single point mutation

    Pamina Kazman, Marie-Theres Vielberg ... Johannes Buchner
    Identifying the patient-specific mutation that shifted the antibody light chain to the deadly fibrillar species provides new insight in the molecular pathogenesis of AL amyloidosis.

    Time-resolved studies define the nature of toxic IAPP intermediates, providing insight for anti-amyloidosis therapeutics

    Andisheh Abedini, Annette Plesner ... Ann Marie Schmidt
    Toxic IAPP intermediates have some molecular features that are similar to, and others that are distinct from, toxic species reported for other amyloidogenic polypeptides.

    Cerebral blood flow and cerebrovascular reactivity are preserved in a mouse model of cerebral microvascular amyloidosis

    Leon P Munting, Marc Derieppe ... Louise van der Weerd
    The causal link between capillary amyloid‑β accumulation in the brain and cerebrovascular dysfunction, previously established in the Tg‑SwDI mouse model, is to be mitigated and remains to be fully uncovered.

    Inhibition by small-molecule ligands of formation of amyloid fibrils of an immunoglobulin light chain variable domain

    Boris Brumshtein, Shannon R Esswein ... David S Eisenberg
    Ligands that bind dimers of light chain variable domains inhibit the formation of amyloid fibrils.

    Intrinsically aggregation-prone proteins form amyloid-like aggregates and contribute to tissue aging in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Chaolie Huang, Sara Wagner-Valladolid ... Della C David
    Age-dependent protein aggregation closely resembles protein aggregation associated with neurodegenerative diseases and other amyloidoses, and initiates early functional decline in different tissues.

    Designed α-sheet peptides inhibit amyloid formation by targeting toxic oligomers

    Gene Hopping, Jackson Kellock ... Valerie Daggett
    Novel designed alpha-sheet peptides inhibit amyloidosis in two different systems and preferentially bind the toxic oligomer.

    Synergy between serum amyloid A and secretory phospholipase A2

    Shobini Jayaraman, Marcus Fändrich, Olga Gursky
    SAA removes toxic products of lipolysis of the cell membrane by sPLA2, indicating that SAA and sPLA2 act synergistically to clear debris from injured sites, as required for tissue healing.

    Small molecule proteostasis regulators that reprogram the ER to reduce extracellular protein aggregation

    Lars Plate, Christina B Cooley ... Jeffery W Kelly
    Small molecule proteostasis regulators that activate the unfolded protein response transcription factor ATF6 reduce the secretion of amyloid disease-associated proteins.

    Spatial quality control bypasses cell-based limitations on proteostasis to promote prion curing

    Courtney L Klaips, Megan L Hochstrasser ... Tricia R Serio
    Cell division imposes a limit on proteostasis capacity by reducing chaperone accumulation, but chaperone-substrate interactions reverse these events to allow clearance of even chronically misfolded protein amyloids.
