Extracting β-amyloid from Alzheimer's disease.
T he amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) posits that extracellular plaques comprised of the β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide are a root cause of neuronal loss in AD (1). To date, three therapeutic strategies targeting Aβ have been used: (i) inhibiting the production of Aβ, (ii) inhibiting the oligomerization of Aβ, and (iii) promoting the clearance and/or degradation of Aβ. None have led to a ...
متن کاملAlzheimers Disease: A Novel Hypothesis for the Development and the Subsequent Role of Beta Amyloid
Spirochetes, biofilms, and innate immune system activity have all been recently found in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients. The mechanism and actions of those factors in producing the disease were discussed in those studies. However, neither the production nor the role of beta amyloid was included in the discussion of those studies. In this commentary, we hypothesize how the developmen...
متن کاملOrbitofrontal Dysfunction Discriminates Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia from Alzheimers Disease
Background: Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) patients show prefrontal cortex dysfunction and atrophy. Methods: We investigated whether executive function in conjunction with prefrontal cortex atrophy discriminates bvFTD and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients efficiently at presentation. Results: AD and bvFTD patients were distinguishable by 89.5% on their performance of 3 execu...
متن کاملFrom heterogeneous patient measurements towards earlier diagnosis in Alzheimers disease
European funded project PredictAD has developed a decision support tool for objective diagnostics of Alzheimer’s disease. The tool compares measurements of a patient to measurements of other persons available in large databases and provides a simple index about the severity of the disease. The project has shown that the tool improves the accuracy of diagnosis and clinicians’ confidence about th...
