From:Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics (Vol. 4, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAlzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia in the elderly and its prevalence is rapidly rising. Although there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, treatment can be administered to slow progression or delay...
-
From:International Journal of Alzheimer's DiseasePeer-ReviewedHuman clinical trials seek to ameliorate the disease states and symptomatic progression of illnesses that, as of yet, are largely untreatable according to clinical standards. Ideally, clinical trials test...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 7, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedWe have previously synthesized a series of hybrid compounds by linking ferulic acid to tacrine as multifunctional agents based on the hypotheses that Alzheimer's disease (AD) generates cholinergic deficiency and...
-
From:Alzheimer's Research & Therapy (Vol. 9, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground CAD-31 is an Alzheimer's disease (AD) drug candidate that was selected on the basis of its ability to stimulate the replication of human embryonic stem cell-derived neural precursor cells as well as in...
-
From:PLoS ONE (Vol. 9, Issue 12) Peer-ReviewedObjectives In this study, we developed a model of presymptomatic treatment of Alzheimer disease (AD) after a screening diagnostic evaluation and explored the circumstances required for an AD prevention treatment to...

From:Nature (Vol. 475, Issue 7355) Peer-ReviewedUsing the formidable powers of the immune system to attack one of the body's own proteins seems like a risky approach. But this is what nearly all vaccines, or immunotherapies, against Alzheimer's disease aim to do....
-
From:Alzheimer's Research & Therapy (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedBackground Recent DNA/RNA sequencing and other multi-omics technologies have advanced the understanding of the biology and pathophysiology of AD, yet there is still a lack of disease-modifying treatments for AD. A...
-
From:Nature Medicine (Vol. 19, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedProduction of the amyloid-[beta] peptide in Alzheimer's disease by the [gamma]-secretase complex can be regulated by certain G protein-coupled receptors. This regulation seems to be mediated by [beta]-arrestin-2, whose...

From:Journal of Medical Speech - Language Pathology (Vol. 19, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedThis study examined the narrative discourse abilities of adults with mild. Alzheimer's disease (AD) (n = 8) versus age-matched normal elderly control subjects (n = 21). A timed description of the Cookie Theft picture...
