As the case builds that soluble oligomers are the most toxic forms of Aβ in Alzheimer’s disease, researchers are working out how best to characterize and target these species. As evidenced by ...

Growing evidence suggests that the key to treating Alzheimer's is catching it in its earliest stages. Now scientists have developed a promising new drug that seems to be effective at stalling the ...

In the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease, toxic oligomers and protofibrils of Aβ are thought to spark a detrimental cascade. Scientists have been trying to develop drugs that extinguish these ...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in late December 2019 in Wuhan, China. With few treatments, a rapid transmission rate, and high mortality amongst at-risk groups such as the elderly, the ...

Proteins do not always function alone, and protein-protein interactions are thought to be important in cellular processes. Most of them will interact with other proteins as oligomers; this could be ...

Researchers have developed an easy-to-apply antibacterial hydrogel by incorporating a biodegradable oligomer into a ...
