Gut bacteria have emerged as silent drivers in the pathology of Alzheimers disease (AD). They also make amyloids with structure analogue to pathological amyloids and have potential to cross-seed and propagate in a prion-like manner. AD is characterised by the accumulation of mature extracellular Amyloid-{beta} (A{beta}) plaques which are surrounded by inflammatory microglia. We report that exposure to interspecies microbial amyloids of FapC (fimbriae) and CsgA (curli) from opportunistic gut pathogens Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli hyperactivates microglia against A{beta} fibrils. Microbial amyloids and A{beta} fibrils converge in phagocytic compartments through subsequent internalization, not observed with A{beta} fibrils alone. This convergence promotes pro-inflammatory microglia with a defective proteome similar to those observed in AD brains. The resulting clusters develop a pro-inflammatory, indigestible interactome that is eventually regurgitated, inducing progressive degeneration in bystander neurons and ultimately leading to cognitive decline. Collectively, these findings provide compelling evidence that microbial amyloids can trigger progressive AD pathology through microglia-driven neuroinflammation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
