Increased Calcium-Sensing Receptor Immunoreactivity in the Hippocampus of a Triple Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
(Frontiers Media, 2017-02-16)
The Calcium-Sensing Receptor (CaSR) is a G-protein coupled, 7-transmembrane domain receptor ubiquitously expressed throughout the body, brain including. The role of CaSR in the CNS is not well understood; its expression ...
Disruption of Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells is an Early Sign of Pathology in the Triple Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
There is increasing evidence that myelin disruption is related to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the CNS, myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes, which are generated throughout life by adult oligodendrocyte ...
Age-dependent decrease in glutamine synthetase expression in the hippocampal astroglia of the triple transgenic Alzheimer's disease mouse model : mechanism for deficient glutamatergic transmission?
(BioMed Central, 2011-07-30)
Astrocytes are fundamental for brain homeostasis and the progression and outcome of many neuropathologies including Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the triple transgenic mouse model of AD (3xTg-AD) generalised hippocampal ...
Early astrocytic atrophy in the entorhinal cortex of a triple transgenic animal model of Alzheimer's disease
(Portland Press, 2011)
The EC (entorhinal cortex) is fundamental for cognitive and mnesic functions. Thus damage to this area appears as a key element in the progression of AD (Alzheimer's disease), resulting in memory deficits arising from ...
Increase in the density of resting microglia precedes neuritic plaque formation and microglial activation in a transgenic model of Alzheimer's disease
(Nature Publishing Group, 2010-01)
The formation of cerebral senile plaques composed of amyloid beta peptide (A beta) is a fundamental feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Glial cells and more specifically microglia become reactive in the presence of A beta. ...
Altered expression of Alzheimer's disease-related genes in the cerebellum of autistic patients: a model for disrupted brain connectome and therapy
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-05)
Autism and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are, respectively, neurodevelopmental and degenerative diseases with an increasing epidemiological burden. The AD-associated amyloid-beta precursor protein-alpha has been shown to be ...
Astrocytes in Alzheimer’s Disease: Pathological Significance and Molecular Pathways
(MDPI, 2021-03-04)
Astrocytes perform a wide variety of essential functions defining normal operation of the nervous system and are active contributors to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s among others. ...
The Anti-Inflammatory Astrocyte Revealed: the Role of the Microbiome in Shaping Brain Defences
(Springer, 2021-04-10)
Astrocytes are a sub-type of neuroglia responsible for homoeostasis and defence of the nervous system. Pathological reactions of neuroglial cells in various neurological disorders have been identified and characterised in ...
Mens sana in corpore sano: lifestyle changes modify astrocytes to contain Alzheimer’s disease
(Wolters Kluwer, 2021-08)
Astrocyte dystrophy in ageing brain parallels impaired synaptic plasticity
(2021-03)
Little is known about age-dependent changes in structure and function of astrocytes and of the impact of these on the cognitive decline in the senescent brain. The prevalent view on the age-dependent increase in reactive ...
