Reagents Targeting Neurodegenerative Diseases and Traumatic Brain Injury
Misfolding and aggregation of proteins, such as beta-amyloid (Aß), alpha-synuclein (a-syn), tau and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43), have been strongly correlated with early onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Parkinson's Disease (PD), Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and...

Recombinant Antibody Fragments that Selectively Target Oligomeric Tau Aggregates
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most prevalent and feared neurodegenerative diseases associated with aging, characterized by progressive neuronal loss and cognitive dysfunction. AD affects nearly 5 million Americans, and unfortunately, there is no cure as of yet. Numerous studies have implicated oligomeric amyloid beta (Aß) aggregates as...

Nanoscale Process to Generate Reagents Selective for Individual Protein Variants
Protein variants have been associated with many different and devastating human diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases, diabetes and cancer. Unfortunately, assessment of these protein variants is technologically difficult, primarily owing to two factors: a lack of binding partners that can distinguish between protein isoforms...

Selective Clearance of Beta-Amyloid Using Bispecific Recombinant Antibody fragments
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most prominent and feared neurodegenerative diseases associated with aging. A hallmark of this disease is the formation of extra-cellular amyloid plaques in the brain. The principle component of these extracellular plaques is amyloid-ß protein (Aß). Though the mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s...

Reagents that Distinguish AD and PD Samples
er-collapse: collapse; } Diverse pathologies, especially related to early protein misfolding and aggregation, are observed in different neurodegenerative diseases. Some protein variants result in different proteinopathies that vary from patient to patient, highlighting a need for personalized diagnostic tests to enable accurate diagnoses. Reagents...
