Lipids enhance apolipoprotein C-II-derived amyloidogenic peptide oligomerization but inhibit fibril formation

, 2009
We investigated the effect of submicellar lipids on amyloid fibril formation. Thioflavin T fluorescence studies showed that submicellar levels of the short-chain phospholipids, dipentanoylphosphatidylcholine and dihexanoylphosphatidylcholine, strongly in

Prognosis in Parkinson's Disease: An Individual Patient Data Meta‐Analysis of Six European Incidence Cohorts

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background An accurate understanding of prognosis in Parkinson's disease (PD) is important for patient information provision, personalized treatment, and clinical trial design, but most previous research has been biased towards younger, healthier patients.

ApoE gene therapy to treat hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis

, 2006
Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death in industrialized countries and is becoming an increasingly worldwide risk to health. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a blood circulating protein with pleiotropic atheroprotective properties that has emerged as a ...

Co‐ and Multi‐Pathologies in Parkinson's Disease: An International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society Scientific Issues Committee Review

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Parkinson's disease (PD) has been historically defined as a disease of striatal dopamine deficiency secondary to degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, related to the presence of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites.

Depletion of microglial compensation in glial network: Disease‐associated response dynamics in the revised amyloid hypothesis

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
The critical transition from amyloid pathology to irreversible neuronal loss in Alzheimer's disease hinges on the microglial response. This review aims to systematize the patterns of how microglia react within the glial context. Abstract Microglia mount coordinated, stage‐dependent compensatory programs in response to early amyloid β (Aβ) accumulation ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of a fibrillogenic peptide derived from apolipoprotein C-II

, 2007
The pathway to amyloid fibril formation in proteins involves specific structural changes leading to the combination of misfolded intermediates into oligomeric assemblies.

Neuroprotective effects of ursodeoxycholic acid in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
In Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), various shared pathological mechanisms exist. UDCA has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in preclinical and clinical studies. Such effects include the mitigation of neuroinflammation as well as rescue effects on mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and ...

Weight Change Between Pregnancies and Mortality Over 50 Years of Follow‐Up

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to evaluate the link between postpartum weight retention (PPWR) and long‐term mortality. Methods In this secondary analysis of 8165 women with ≥ 2 pregnancies in the Collaborative Perinatal Project (CPP), U.S., 1959–1966, with vital status follow‐up through 2016, we used interconception weight change (ICWC) and ...

ApoE gene therapy: an overview and update

, 2005
Atherosclerosis remains the leading cause of death in industrialized societies. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is an attractive candidate to treat hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart disease, as it is a circulating protein with pleiotropic ...
