    Insulysin Cleaves the APP Cytoplasmic Fragment at Multiple Sites

    The amyloid peptide (Aβ) deposited in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is generated by β- and γ-secretase processing of a larger integral membrane protein precursor (APP). Intramembrane processing of APP by γ-secretas...

    β-secretase processing of the Alzheimer’s amyloid protein precursor (APP)

    An integral membrane aspartyl protease, BACE, is responsible for β-secretase processing of the β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) to the large secreted sAPPβ and membrane-bound CTFβ of 99 residues. CTFβ is subs...

    Development of indole-3-propionic acid (OXIGON™) for alzheimer’s disease

    The accumulation of amyloid-beta and concomitant oxidative stress are major pathogenic events in Alzheimer’s disease. Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA, OXIGON™) is a potent anti-oxidant devoid of pro-oxidant activ...

    Systemic complement depletion reduces inflammation and demyelination in adoptive transfer experimental allergic neuritis

    The effect of systemic complement depletion by cobra venom factor (CVF) was evaluated in adoptive transfer experimental allergic neuritis (AT-EAN). Spleen cells of rats immunized with a neuritogenic peptide S...

    Ultrastructural evidence that insoluble microtubules are components of the neurofibrillary tangle

    The ultrastructure of Alzheimer's neurofibrillary tangles is heterogeneous and includes abnormal paired helical filaments (PHF) and various other insoluble structures. Insoluble non-PHF components isolated fro...

    Aging of the neuroendocrine system: Impaired neuropeptide control of thyroid stimulating hormone

    Previous studies on neuroendocrine feedback control have shown that normal pituitary-thyroid function depends on appropriate hypothalamic regulation. Yet, mechanisms leading to low thyroid stimulating hormone ...
