Both medications can help treat cognitive symptoms by reducing amyloid plaques in the brain and are administered intravenously (into a vein).6 These treatments are intended to slow neurodegeneration and disease progression. In January 2024, Biogen, the maker of Aduhelm, announced that it would ...

Increased LDL Receptor Lowers Amyloid Plaques via Apolipoprotein E: Study Offers New Insight On How APOE Works in Alzheimer DiseaseAn abstract is unavailable.doi:10.1097/01.NT.0000368610.67574.61ROBINSONRICHARDNeurology Today
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive, clinically heterogeneous, age-sensitive neurodegenerative disease, characterised by often escalating impairments of memory and other cognitive functions together with associated changes in personality and behaviour [1,2,3]. Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangl...
In the "on" pathway, protein monomers sequentially aggregate to form larger structures culminating in an amyloid structure, either amyloid plaques for Aβ or NFT for tau. In the "off" pathway, protein monomers aggregate into oligomers –a persistent, stable, and pathogenic conformation. The upper...
Corticosteroids are a type of hormone used to treat different diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease, and different types of allergies. In organ transplant recipients, corticosteroids help to suppress the immune system, thus preventing organ rejection....

For example, 5hmC recognition and binding by MeCP2 in the brain is functionally associated with transcription (Mellen et al., 2012). In regards to 5fC and 5caC, their extreme scarcity in mammalian genomes limits an understanding of their roles. However, several studies suggest that these ...
According to Dr. Espay, the formation of amyloid plaques may be the brain’s natural way of responding to stress, like changes in metabolism (代谢). He points out that many people get amyloid-plaques as they age but do not develop dementia (痴呆). Still, current treatments for Alzheimer’...
The main hypothesis on the cause of Alzheimer's involves amyloid deposition, the buildup of plaques in the brain that impair neurological function; most biomedical efforts to tackle the disease have focused on this issue. For the study, Ho and Kosik, leading experts in Alzheimer's research, ...
