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....

Spatiotemporal characterization of post-stroke myelin density changes and their contribution to functional recovery using a novel label-free in vivo imaging technique
DownloadSpring 2020
Myelin is an essential component of nervous system functioning: it supports axonal metabolism, enables saltatory conduction to allow for precise timing across cortical networks to regulate information processing and is increasingly recognized as an integral type of adult experience-dependent...

The Humanization of Rodent Beta-Amyloid: The Aggregative and Toxic Properties of Amino-Terminal Beta-Amyloid Mutations
DownloadSpring 2020
Human β-amyloid1-42 (hAβ1-42) peptides are known to self-aggregate into oligomers that contribute to the degeneration of neurons and development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. Unlike humans, rodents do not develop AD, possibly due to differences in three amino acids (R5G, Y10F and H13R)...
