Early Treatment Critical: Bexarotene Reduces Amyloid-Beta Burden In Silico. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Amyloid-beta peptides have long been implicated in the pathology of Alzheimer's disease. Bexarotene, a drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for treating a class of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, has been reported to facilitate the removal of ...

β-Amyloid Monomers Are Neuroprotective [PDF]

The Journal of Neuroscience, 2009
The 42-aa-long β-amyloid protein—Aβ 1-42 —is thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Walsh and Selkoe, 2007). Data from AD brain (Shankar et al., 2008), transgenic APP (amyloid precursor protein)-overexpressing mice (Lesné et al., 2006), and neuronal ...

Beta-Amyloid Deposition and the Aging Brain [PDF]

Neuropsychology Review, 2009
A central issue in cognitive neuroscience of aging research is pinpointing precise neural mechanisms that determine cognitive outcome in late adulthood as well as identifying early markers of less successful cognitive aging. One promising biomarker is beta amyloid (Abeta) deposition.

GABA and glutamate moderate beta-amyloid related functional connectivity in cognitively unimpaired old-aged adults

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2019
Background: Effects of beta-amyloid accumulation on neuronal function precede the clinical manifestation of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by years and affect distinct cognitive brain networks.

Estrogen protects neuronal cells from amyloid beta-induced apoptosis via regulation of mitochondrial proteins and function

BMC Neuroscience, 2006
Background Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease is associated with increased apoptosis and parallels increased levels of amyloid beta, which can induce neuronal apoptosis.

Fibril fragmentation in amyloid assembly and cytotoxicity: When size matters [PDF]

, 2010
Amyloid assemblies are associated with several debilitating human disorders. Understanding the intra- and extracellular assembly of normally soluble proteins and peptides into amyloid aggregates and how they disrupt normal cellular functions is therefore

The Contribution of S100B Suppression by Arundic Acid to the Inhibition of the Glio-Toxicity Induced by Beta-Amyloid in an Astrocytes Culture [PDF]

Journal of Advanced Biomedical Sciences, 2019
Background & Objective: It has been shown that glial activation has important role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease. S100B is an astrocyte specific factor with deleterious effects on the neuronal and non-neuronal cells in the central nervous

Intranasal neprilysin rapidly eliminates amyloid-beta plaques, but causes plaque compensations: the explanation why the amyloid-beta cascade may fail?

Neural Regeneration Research, 2022
Neurodegenerative brain disorders are a major burden in our society, such as Alzheimer´s disease. In order to repair or prevent such diseases, drugs are designed which enter the brain, but the blood-brain barrier limits their entry and the search for ...

Sinomenine inhibits amyloid beta-induced astrocyte activation and protects neurons against indirect toxicity

Molecular Brain, 2020
Amyloid beta is a major constituent of the plaques found in the brains of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A growing body of research work suggests that neuroinflammation plays important roles in the development of AD. Thus, considerable
