Amyloid-beta (Aβ) is a 36–43 amino acid peptide derived from the proteolytic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by beta-secretase (BACE1) and gamma-secretase. Its aggregation from soluble monomers into insoluble fibrillar plaques in the brain is the defining ne…
The process by which soluble amyloid-beta (Aβ) monomers assemble into neurotoxic oligomers and insoluble fibrillar plaques in the brain -- the defining neuropathological event of alzheimers disease. What distinguishes WikiBiome's treatment of this process from conventio…

An umbrella concept encompassing the metallomic dimensions of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and other neurodegenerative conditions. The brain is uniquely vulnerable to metal toxicity: it has high metabolic demand, limited regenerative capacity, region-specif…
Chronic inflammatory activation within the central nervous system, driven by microglia, astrocytes, and infiltrating peripheral immune cells. Neuroinflammation is a convergent pathological mechanism across alzheimers disease, parkinsons disease, multiple sclerosis, and …
Tau is a microtubule-associated protein essential for maintaining the structural integrity of neuronal axons. In health, tau binds to and stabilizes microtubules, enabling axonal transport of organelles, vesicles, and signaling molecules. When tau becomes hyperphosphory…
