چکیده
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com J Neurol Stroke 2015, 2(3): 00056 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of progressive and irreversible presenile and senile dementia of unavoidable tragic outcome, affecting millions of humans worldwide. Even from the last decades of the 20th century AD has become a serious medical challenge for aging population, inducing many ethical, legal, social, humanitarian, philosophical [1] and economic problems without an obvious perspective clarityfor the near future, despite the quotidian ongoing research [2].

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. It is characterized by age-dependent decline of memory and multiple cognitive functions and severe neurodegeneration (Manczak et al., 2010). Various neurophathological hallmarks of AD are reported, such as intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, amyloid β (Aβ) plaque, dy...

The deposition of amyloid -peptide (A ) in the brain is closely associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease. A is generated from the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by sequential action of -secretase (BACE1) and -secretase. Although BACE1 is distributed among various other tissues, its physiological substrates other than APP have yet to be identified. ST6Gal I is a sialyltransferase ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the brain, inducing progressive severe presenile and senile cognitive decline, resulting in vegetative stage eventually. From the etiological point of view the main causative factor, remains unknown, in spite of the steady augmentation of the research efforts.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an insidiously progressive severe presenile and senile dementia, involving a number of cellular and biochemical mechanisms. AD affects millions of humans as the most common cause of cognitive decline worldwide, in addition to being a main medical challenge for aging population. From the clinical point of view, AD is mostly characterized by age-dependent inexorably pr...

Using a double mutant transgenic rat model [amyloid precursor β protein (AβPP) and presenilin 1 (PS1) mutations], that stably expresses intracellular human amyloid β (Aβ) fragments, Lopez and colleagues [1] report that intracellular Aβ accumulation in hippocampus and neocortex induces morphological alterations in the Golgi apparatus and lysosomes and an increase in lipofuscin bodies. The author...
