Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]

open access: yesNetwork: Computation in Neural Systems, 2011
Over the last three decades, advances in biochemical pathology and human genetics have illuminated one of the most enigmatic subjects in biomedicine--neurodegeneration. Eponymic diseases of the nervous system such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases that were long characterized by mechanistic ignorance have yielded striking progress ...

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2000
Use of valid diagnostic criteria is extremely important in the recognition of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease should be started on a cholinesterase inhibitor and possibly anti-inflammatory agents, antioxidants (vitamin E or selegiline), and estrogen replacement therapy (for postmenopausal women).

Isoform-selective decrease of glycogen synthase kinase-3-beta (GSK-3β) reduces synaptic tau phosphorylation, transcellular spreading, and aggregation

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: It has been suggested that aberrant activation of glycogen synthase kinase-3-beta (GSK-3β) can trigger abnormal tau hyperphosphorylation and aggregation, which ultimately leads to neuronal/synaptic damage and impaired cognition in Alzheimer ...

Alzheimer disease [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Disease Primers, 2021
Alzheimer disease (AD) is biologically defined by the presence of β-amyloid-containing plaques and tau-containing neurofibrillary tangles. AD is a genetic and sporadic neurodegenerative disease that causes an amnestic cognitive impairment in its prototypical presentation and non-amnestic cognitive impairment in its less common variants.
