    Integrated analysis of human genetic association study and mouse transcriptome suggests LBH and SHF genes as novel susceptible genes for amyloid-β accumulation in Alzheimer’s disease

    Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common neurological disease that causes dementia in humans. Although the reports of associated pathological genes have been increasing, the molecular mechanism leading to the accu...

    Role of p21-activated kinase pathway defects in the cognitive deficits of Alzheimer disease

    Defects in dendritic spines are common to several forms of cognitive deficits, including mental retardation and Alzheimer disease. Because mutation of p21-activated kinase (PAK) can lead to mental retardation ...

    Ibuprofen Suppresses Interleukin-1β Induction of Pro-Amyloidogenic α1-Antichymotrypsin to Ameliorate β-Amyloid (Aβ) Pathology in Alzheimer's Models

    Epidemiological and basic research suggests that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should protect against the most common forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Ibuprofen reduces amyloid (Aβ) pathology in...

    Presenilin-1 mutations downregulate the signalling pathway of the unfolded-protein response

    Missense mutations in the human presenilin-1 (PS1) gene, which is found on chromosome 14, cause early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD). FAD-linked PS1 variants alter proteolytic processing of the amyloid ...
