Roles of the Insulin-like Growth Factor-II/Cation-independent Mannose 6-phosphate Receptor and Cathepsin D in Alzheimer’s Disease Pathology
DownloadSpring 2016
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of senile dementia affecting the elderly. A critical contributing factor to the neurodegeneration and development of AD pathology stems from the processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP), leading to the generation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides....

Thermal response of amyloidogenic elements in cultured N2a cells: potential relevance to Alzheimer’s disease pathology
DownloadFall 2020
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) weighs a large burden on health care systems, families and caregiving networks around the world. It is the most common dementia afflicting elderly individuals, and causes many debilitating symptoms, including memory loss, mood swings and confusion which progress in...

Zebrafish Targeted Mutagenesis to Unveil Normal Physiological Functions of, and Interactions between, Prion Protein (PrP) and Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP): Relevance to Alzheimer’s disease
DownloadSpring 2017
Much of the work on Prion Protein (PrPC) and Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) biology has focused on the contributions of their misfolded forms or aggregated metabolites to prion diseases and Alzheimer’s disease, respectively. As subversion/partial loss of some normal functions are also likely...
