What is the greatest void to date in our knowledge of Alzheimer's Disease?
The lack of good and reliable disease models.
If resources were not limited, what research projects would you pursue?
To understand mechanism that undermine the activity and survival of cholinergic and cholinoceptive neurons and other non-excitable cells in the AD brain.
What is your leading hypothesis?
ApoE and Amyloid-beta undermine the cholinergic system through physical interaction with cholinesterase which leads to formation of soluble BuChE/AChE-ABeta-ApoE complexes (BABA-C)with extensive ACh-hydrolyzing capacities. This would leads a gradual but consistent undermining of activity and survival of Cholinergic and cholinoceptive neurons during the AD continuum.(Darreh-Shori, T., et al. Differential levels of apolipoprotein E and butyrylcholinesterase show strong association with pathological signs of Alzheimer's disease in the brain in vivo. Neurobiology of aging (2010)).
What piece of missing evidence would help prove it?
To isolate and show presence of the BABA-C in the AD CSF and brain homogenates.
