Amyloid beta aggregate

Molecular classification
Protein aggregate
01

Overview

Amyloid beta aggregates are misfolded protein assemblies implicated as central drivers in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. Their structural diversity—from soluble oligomers to insoluble plaques—underpins their varied biological effects. Therapeutic strategies focus on reducing their formation or promoting their clearance due to their established role in neurodegeneration associated with AD pathology.
