The names of the amyloid usually start with the letter "A".

The idea that amyloid could cause the disease influenced scientific research until this day.

As the amyloid grows, it spreads outside of the cell.

In addition, the gene for amyloid was on chormosome 21.

Scientists consider this an important clue to the actual role of beta amyloid.

There are many different ways to measure Amyloid beta.

Should they go after beta amyloid and try to prevent plaques outside cells?

Eventually, the plaques fill up with these beta amyloid proteins.

Two others are looking at how to promote the clearance of the amyloid already deposited in the brain.

Whether amyloid is a cause or an effect of the Alzheimer's disease process is unknown.

In 1989, Gandy and his team discovered the first drugs that could lower formation of amyloid.

Another strategy involves increasing the antibodies against a fragment of amyloid.

The formation of beta amyloid fragments is a normal occurrence in the human body.

An increasing variety of compounds that reduce beta amyloid levels are being identified.

There was damage only to specific surface regions of his brain, and the stains for amyloid came back negative.

The damage from Alzheimer's disease seems to be limited to the accumulations of amyloid in the brain.

At least one of the genes is involved with the production of a normal brain protein called amyloid.

Deposits of amyloid can be seen in sections of brain tissue.

The new findings build on a large and growing body of evidence implicating beta amyloid in Alzheimer's disease.

It also may be possible to enhance the body's own ways of removing the small clusters of amyloid.

Its cause is unknown, but coagulation defects caused by amyloid are thought to contribute.

However, a majority of researchers support the alternative hypothesis that amyloid is the primary causative agent.

Symptoms vary widely depending upon where in the body amyloid deposits accumulate.

In Alzheimer's disease they are primarily composed of beta amyloid peptides.

"There was not even a whiff of amyloid.
