Abstract

More than three hundred years ago, Antony van Leewenhoeck first described observing single-celled microorganisms, which he termed 'animalcules', examining his saliva under a microscope. Although the idea of the coexistence of microorganisms in our body is not new, we have only recently ...read more

Neurodegeneration & Aging

This feed focuses on genetic aspects of neurodegeneration and aging, with emphasis on the role of protein aggregates in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzhiemer’s. Here is the latest research.

Neurotoxicity, Inflammation & Neuroprotection

The end result of the inflammatory process, neurotoxicity and/or neuroprotection, is a function of the fine balance between the two cellular systems, i.e., of the complex signaling relationships between anti-inflammatory neuroprotective factors (neurotrophins and other chemical mediators) and proinflammatory neurotoxic factors (tnf, free radicals, certain cytokines, etc). Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to neurotoxicity, inflammation and neuroprotection.

Alzheimer's Disease: Animal models

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease which can be studied using various experimental systems. This feed focuses on animal models used for Alzheimer's disease research.

Alzheimer's Disease: Early Markers

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. This feed focuses on early markers, as well as environmental, pharmacological, and drug-response biomarkers associated with this disease.
