The complement cascade is a complex inflammatory process that can mediate diverse functions, from targeting cells and cellular components for phagocytosis to membrane attack complex-mediated cell death...
Aβ peptide has dominated center stage in AD research, but the discovery last year of a tau mutation that causes a familial non-AD dementia has reawakened broader interest in tau...
Are both Aβ and the intracellular hyperphosphorylation of tau necessary for the induction of morphological alterations in dendrites in AD?...
Fred van Leeuwen and his research group presented new data regarding their molecular misreading hypothesis for sporadic AD (Abstract 107.7)...
Hopefully, transgenic AD models will be more useful than just demonstrating that the overexpression of mutant human APP can lead to the deposition of Aβ plaques...
AD is now widely considered to be a multifactorial disease with only a few dominant genetic mutations that can be considered as directly causing the disease, i.e., APP and the presenilins...
It is known that aspirin and sodium salicylate suppress inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, an enzyme that triggers production of prostaglandin. It has been suspected that these compounds...
It has long been a dogma of neuroscience that the human brain is born with all the neurons it will ever have, and that those neurons must endure for a lifetime. But evidence has been accumulating...
The idea of treating developmental and neurodegenerative disorders by growing new brain cells has taken a major step forward, according to results of two studies...
Can transgenic mice serve as a truly useful model for studying Alzheimer's disease? Studies of mice expressing an APP gene mutation that causes a form of familial AD have reported no neuronal loss...
Since the discovery that mutations in the gene for PS1 cause familial Alzheimer disease, there has been keen interest in investigating the mechanism by which PS1 mutations cause disease...
A study published in last month's Neurology reports that professional soccer players are at significantly higher risk for long-term brain injuries that affect their mental function...
A diet rich in certain fruits and vegetables is known to protect against cancer and heart disease, and now a new animal study suggests nutrition can also stall the decline of brain function...
Estrogen has been shown in recent years to be a possible protective factor in Alzheimer disease, and now new studies suggest it may also protect against the risk of Parkinson's disease...
Secreted forms of amyloid precursor protein (APP) may play an important role in the formation and consolidation of memory, according to a study published in today's proceedings of the National Academy of Science...
