Researchers have known that the peptide amyloid beta plays a role in causing Alzheimer’s disease, but they are still working to determine how it becomes toxic. Jan Bieschke, a biomedical engineer at Washington University in St. Louis, and collaborators in Germany have found that amyloid beta must change its internal structure into a long, flat structure called a beta sheet to be absorbed into the cell and become toxic. Results of the research were published Sept. 9 in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Bieschke, assistant professor of biomedical engineering in the School of Engineering & Applied Science, and his collaborators found that the amyloid beta protein structure that was able penetrate the cell had a specific type of beta sheet in which its peptides stacked onto each other, similar to a layer cake. “Somewhere on this aggregation pathway, this type of structural element is formed for the amyloid beta to get into the cell,” Bieschke said. “There is a two-step process: amyloid beta can bind to the membrane and form aggregates while on the surface of the cell, then it gets taken up into the cell.”

HOUSTON, March 16, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Nan and Company Properties caters to the type of clients who are used to fine cuisine, high-end art, attention to serve and a personal touch, so when a new multi-million dollar home goes on the market, a regular open house just won’t do. As the exclusive real estate firm for Al Ross Luxury Homes, Nan and Company Properties hosted a private event to open the doors of the most recent and glamorous additions to River Oaks, one of Houston’s ritziest neighborhoods. The newly constructed property located at 2414 Inwood Dr. in Houston, TX, is nearly 8,000 sq. ft. with the aura of a 16th century French castle. The majestic property is in a prime locale for the most discerning of clientele. In grand fashion, Nan and Company Properties hosted an event to show off the new home and gauge interest from potential buyers. The events featured hors d’oeuvres by Asian fusion restaurant Oka and work by various international artists, whose pieces were provided by Joanna Rueda, an art collector with Samara Gallery. Topping off the opulence of the event was an exotic car display of the 2016 Porsche Panamera GTS by luxury automobile dealer Momentum Porsche. “The current luxury real estate market is pretty competitive, so firms sometimes go the extra mile to draw the attention of buyers who would be a good fit for the home,” says Nancy Almodovar, CEO of Nan and Company Properties. “We like to focus on creating an exquisite experience for potential homeowners, so they can picture themselves living the life of their dreams in one of our properties.”
