Damage to the brain’s blood vessels accumulates as people age, but scientists still know little about what causes this, much less how to detect or prevent it. A consortium led by scientists at ...
The days when reading a few papers brought scientists up to speed on the developments in their field are gone. Now scientists face mounting volumes of deeply complex datasets, and not remotely enough ...
Affitope AD02 is a synthetic peptide of six amino acids that mimics the N-terminus of Aβ. AFFiRiS hypothesizes that this fragment enables exclusive recognition of Aβ without cross-reacting with APP, ...
Focused ultrasound with microbubbles is a noninvasive procedure that transiently opens the blood-brain barrier (BBB) using low-intensity sound waves. The openings reseal within 24 hours. Using MRI to ...
DZNE maintains a brainbank at five different sites in Germany, at Bonn, Dresden, Munich, Rostock/Greifswald and Tübingen.
Good managers set the tone for the whole team, encouraging positive behavior from everyone around them. In the November 5 Nature, scientists introduce a subtype of microglia that appears to do just ...
Scientists have spotted a new variety of riled-up microglia that drives swelling in the human brain. In the November 18 Neuron, researchers from China led by Haixiao Liu, Shunnan Ge, and Yan Qu at ...
Cars patched up after a wreck may look fixed—but never run quite as before. The same may hold true for chromatin, according to a study published in Science on November 6. In response to double-strand ...
The App SAA mouse joins a list of knock-in models that carry a humanized Aβ sequence within the murine App gene (App knock-in (humanized Aβ), APP NL-F Knock-in, APP NL-G-F Knock-in). As in the latter ...
Background Acute administration of nicotine to AD patients improved accuracy of delayed recall, as well as deficits in attention and information processing (Sahakian et al. 1989; Wesnes and Warburton, ...
These mice have a targeted deletion in the mouse gene β-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1). Homozygous mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral ...
