Alzheimers 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 کاملFlorbetaben PET imaging to detect amyloid beta plaques in Alzheimer's disease: Phase 3 study
BACKGROUND Evaluation of brain β-amyloid by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging can assist in the diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD) and other dementias. METHODS Open-label, nonrandomized, multicenter, phase 3 study to validate the (18)F-labeled β-amyloid tracer florbetaben by comparing in vivo PET imaging with post-mortem histopathology. RESULTS Brain images and tissue from 74 dece...
متن کاملA Business Model to Detect Disease Outbreaks
Introduction: Every year several disease outbreaks, such as influenza-like illnesses (ILI) and other contagious illnesses, impose various costs to public and non-government agencies. Most of these expenses are due to not being ready to handle such disease outbreaks. An appropriate preparation will reduce the expenses. A system that is able to recognize these outbreaks can earn ...
متن کاملAptamer-Functionalized Nano-Biosensors
Nanomaterials have become one of the most interesting sensing materials because of their unique size- and shape-dependent optical properties, high surface energy and surface-to-volume ratio, and tunable surface properties. Aptamers are oligonucleotides that can bind their target ligands with high affinity. The use of nanomaterials that are bioconjugated with aptamers for selective and sensitive...
متن کاملAmyloid Beta, Neural Lipids, Cholesterol & Alzheimer's Disease
To date great number of articles were devoted to cholesterol (chol) but only few articles studied the role for chol in neuron function/degeneration. For decades this molecule had been known to be important for atherosclerosis and heart disease. First indication of the involvement of chol in Alzheimer disease (AD), however, come from the mid 1990s. At that time it was shown that heart disease pa...
