Notch from Neurodevelopment to Neurodegeneration: Keeping the Fate

Springer, 2002

Can molecular mechanisms involved in neural development help us to understand, prevent and perhaps reverse the course of brain ageing and neurodegenerative disorders? Brain development and function require complex cellular and molecular processes controlled by a number of different signaling mechanisms. One such signaling mechanism, the Notch pathway, has been recognized as an important player in the regulation of cellfate decisions during early ...

Genotype - Proteotype - Phenotype Relationships in Neurodegenerative Diseases
This is an up-to-date review of research in the area of genetics and clinical phenotypes in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly, in ALzheimer's disease. the book provides the newest information and insights into the disease heredity and mechanism and proposes search for new treatments. Very enlightening!

This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Alzheimer's disease is a major health problem. The disease is clinically characterized by the progressive mental decline of the patients and pathologically by the accumulation of amyloid plaques and tangles and neurodegenerative changes in the brain. The cause of the disease remains unclear but in some cases, genetic (missense) mutations in the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) and in the Presenilin genes (PS1 & ...

Cary Esselens

Leuven University Press, 2005

This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative late-onset disease. Important players in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease are the amyloid precursor protein (APP) but also the proteases or secretases that cleave this type I transmembrane protein, not in the least because short proteolytic peptide fragments of APP, called Amyloid B peptides, clearly accumulate in the brain of Alzheimer's patients.

This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Dementia is a major cause of disability and mortality. The most frequent type of dementia is Alzheimer's disease, accounting for about 70% of all dementia cases. Worldwide, about 20 million people suffer from Alzheimer's disease. With the increasing number of elderly in the world, Alzheimer's disease represents more and more a major health problem with an enormous impact on individuals, families, the health care ...

Presenilins and Alzheimer's Disease (Research and Perspectives in Alzheimer's Disease)

Springer-Verlag Telos, 1998

With the discovery of the presenilin genes, molecular and biochemical studies of Alzheimer's disease have recently undergone a major revolution. One of the greatest revelations to arise from these studies of the presenilins is the findings that, like the familial Alzheimer's disease mutations in APP, the mutations in the presenilin genes lead to increased production and secretion of the longer form of the Aß peptide, Aß42, which seeds ß-amyloid ...

Neurodegenerative Disorders: Loss of Function Through Gain of Function (Research and Perspectives in ...

Springer, 2001

The main message from this book is that the different protein aggregation processes may all be amenable to a small number of intervention steps based on a common theme of the modulation of production, turnover and deposition of the corresponding disease gene products. The next few years will prove critical in evaluation the possibilities of rational therapeutic strategies towards regaining the loss of function through the amelioration of the ...
