Amyloid beta (Aβ) oligomers are thought to play an important role during development and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previously, we determined the Aβ oligomer concentrations in various AD mouse models and in human brain tissues of former AD patients. Here, we investigate which proteins are part of these Aβ oligomers, apart from Aβ itself. Because several oligomer-associated proteins have been implicated in mechanisms leading to AD pathology, identification of the Aβ oligomer proteome may provide insights into the formation of Aβ oligomers Show less

The structural-functional organization of ammonia and glutamine metabolism in the liver acinus involves highly specialized hepatocyte subpopulations like glutamine synthetase (GS) expressing perivenous hepatocytes (scavenger cells). However, this cell population has not yet been characterized extensively regarding expression of other genes and potential subpopulations. This was investigated in the present study by proteome profiling of periportal GS-negative and perivenous GS-expressing hepatocytes from mouse and rat. Apart from established markers of GS Show less
