Development and validation of a yeast high-throughput screen for inhibitors of Aβ42 oligomerization
SUMMARY Recent reports point to small soluble oligomers, rather than insoluble fibrils, of amyloid β (Aβ), as the primary toxic species in Alzheimer’s disease. Previously, we developed a low-throughput assay in yeast that is capable of detecting small Aβ42 oligomer formation. Specifically, Aβ42 fuse...
