Abstract:BackgroundSoluble Aβ oligomers are highly toxic and may be responsible for development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Elimination of Aβ oligomers is therefore a promising therapeutic strategy. The compound RD2 was developed to stabilize Aβ monomers in their native conformation, which is very close to an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP). RD2 has demonstrated already to directly eliminate soluble Aβ oligomers in vitro and in vivo and to improve cognition or decelerate neurodegeneration in fou… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
