Montreal, QC - Measurement of apolipoprotein B could be a more reliable indicator of cardiovascular disease than the measurement of LDL cholesterol, according to a new review published this week in ...

A new biophysical study why apoE and other apolipoproteins co-deposit with amyloids and provides a structural basis for understanding how apolipoproteins modulate amyloid growth and proliferation in ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative syndrome characterized by amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and loss of synapses. Amyloid plaques arise from abnormal proteolytic processing of ...

Researchers exploring dementia-related proteins in the brain identified Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) as a key misfolded protein. "Dementia is very complex, but you can simplify it: the disease is caused by ...

Fibre intake is associated with a lower risk of developing cognitive decline in those old people with the Apolipoprotein E ApoE ε4 genotype, regarded as a genetic risk factor linked to the development ...

PTEN Loss and BRCA1 Promoter Hypermethylation Negatively Predict for Immunogenicity in BRCA-Deficient Ovarian Cancer Apolipoprotein B mRNA-Editing Catalytic Polypeptide-like (APOBEC) enzymes are ...

Elevated levels of lipoprotein (a) is a genetic disease that causes cardiovascular disease. Steven Nissen, M.D., addresses why it’s important to find treatments for this genetic risk factor.

In a recent study published in the Molecular Psychiatry Journal, a team of researchers from the United States conducted a large-scale genome-wide association study to identify new genetic factors that ...
