alzheimer disease (ad) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common form of dementia. increasing evidence suggests that alzheimer's disease pathogenesis is not restricted to the neuronal compartment, but includes strong interactions with immunological mechanisms in the brain. in vitro and animal studies have linked neuroinflammation to alzheimer's disease (ad) pathology. studie...

the role of transforming growth factor (tgf)-β1, interferon (ifn)-γ, interleukin (il)-2, il-3, and il-6 in the pathogenesis of alzheimer's disease (ad) has long been reported in literature. in this case-control study, the concentrations of these cytokines in altered t lymphocytes, as well as serum vitamin b12, have been compared in terms of factors such as, age, the clinical course and the pati...

Background: The skin of patients with atopic dermatitis has a high susceptibility to staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) colonization known to produce toxins with super antigen (SAgs) activity which are a family of potent immune-stimulatory exotoxins and may aggravate AD. The aim of this research was to evaluate the ro...

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common disorder of dementia, which has not been cured after its occurrence. AD progresses indiscernible, first destroy the structure of the brain and subsequently becomes clinically evident. Therefore, the timely and correct diagnosis of these structural changes in the brain is very important and it can prevent the disease or stop its progress. N...

Alzheimer is age-related, progressive brain degeneration disease. It destroys memory slowly. The number of people living with AD is increasing as fast as the count of aged population and extension of bad nutrition habits. The main cause of AD is not clearly known, but prior studies noted the importance of inflammation in Tau hyperphosphorylation and failure of microglia to clear AB peptide accu...

Alzheimer disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative brain disorder which plays an important role in neural cell destruction and as a result it causes memory loss in the patients. This disease is also the most common type of dementia which doesn’t completely respond to medical treatments so no certain cure is available. Recent studies show the advantages of using stem cells (SCs) in ...

Objective(s): Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is dysfunction of the central nervous system and as a neurodegenerative disease. The objective of this work is to investigate metabolic profiling in the serum of animal models of AD compared to healthy controls and then to peruse the role of ghrelin as a therapeutic approach for the AD.Materials and Methods: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique was u...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of dementia worldwide. Epidemiological studies support the important role of diet in prevention and improvement of AD. In Traditional Persian Medicine (TPM), there is multiple dietary guidelines to prevent and alleviate dementia and memory impairment. Pharmacological studies have been shown that most of the TPM-recomm...

alzheimer’s disease (ad) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects regions of the brain that control cognition, memory, language, speech and awareness to one’s physical surroundings. the pathological initiation and progression of ad is highly complex and its prevalence is on the rise. in his study, alzheimer's disease was induced with single injection of amyloid-β (aβ) pepti...

objective(s) alzheimer’s disease (ad) is a complex disease with multifactorial etiology. inflammation has been proven to have an important role in the pathogenesis of ad. both ccr2 and ccr5 genes expression increase in ad patients comparing to control subjects. ccr5 gene encodes a protein which is a member of the beta chemokine receptors family of integral membrane proteins. ccr5-δ32 is a genet...
