Phagocytes as Plaque Catalysts: Human Macrophages Actively Generate Pathogenic Aβ42 Fibrils with Seeding and Cross-Seeding Potency

Katerina Konstantoulea, Meine Ramakers, Sarah Catherine Borrie…·Joost W. H. Schymkowitz

This study shows human macrophages and microglia actively produce Aβ42 fibrils, which seed amyloid plaques and tau aggregation, and this process is influenced by genetic factors like TREM2.

Heterotypic Aβ interactions facilitate amyloid assembly and modify amyloid structure

Katerina Konstantoulea, Patrícia Silva Guerreiro, Meine Ramakers…·Frédéric Rousseau

This study shows heterotypic interactions between Aβ APRs and homologous protein segments accelerate Aβ assembly, alter fibril morphology, and are enriched in AD plaques but not in mouse models.
