Generation of App knock-in mice reveals deletion mutations protective against Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology

Nature Communications, 2018
To date, only one mutation in the gene for amyloid-beta precursor protein APP has been suggested to be protective against Alzheimer’s disease. Here, authors found using gene editing of a mutant App knock-in mouse line that deletion of the 3’UTR region is

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Distribution of amyloid precursor protein and amyloid-beta in ocular hypertensive C57BL/6 mouse eyes

, 2010
Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and amyloid-beta (Abeta) appear to participate in the pathophysiology of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death in glaucoma.

Connecting the dots: A narrative review of the relationship between heart failure and cognitive impairment

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1119-1131, April 2025.
Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...

Use of Peptides for the Management of Alzheimer’s Disease: Diagnosis and Inhibition

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a form of dementia and the most common progressive neurodegenerative disease (ND). The targeting of amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregation is one of the most widely used strategies to manage AD, and efforts are being made globally to ...

Progressive myoclonus epilepsy in Down syndrome with Alzheimer's disease: An 11‐year longitudinal study and proposed diagnostic red flags

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) face an ultra‐high risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Within this continuum, Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy (PME) has emerged as a marker of advanced neurodegeneration. Building on our 2014 characterization of this syndrome, we aimed to define its long‐term natural history and pathological substrate.

Microglia and amyloid precursor protein coordinate control of transient Candida cerebritis with memory deficits

Nature Communications, 2019
The potential links between infections and neurodegenerative disorders are unclear. Here, Wu et al. present a mouse model of low-grade candidemia characterized by highly localized cerebritis, accumulation of amyloid precursor protein and beta peptides ...

Proteomic signatures of equine dental tooth tissues in ageing and disease

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ageing and dental disease in horses lead to structural and functional deterioration of dental tissues, yet their molecular signatures remain poorly characterised. Understanding how these processes alter the protein composition of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp is essential for improving equine oral health and identifying ...

A Physiological Role for Amyloid Beta Protein: Enhancement of Learning and Memory

, 2008
Amyloid beta protein (A[beta]) is well recognized as having a significant role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The reason for the presence of A[beta] and its physiological role in non-disease states is not clear.

Biomolecular studies in Alzheimer’s Disease models: investigations in vitro and in vivo

, 2013
The Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most prevalent form of age-related dementia, is a multifactorial and heterogeneous neurodegenerative disease. The molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of AD are yet largely unknown.
