  2. 16. Proteomic strategies for analysis of cerebrospinal fluid in neurodegenerative disorders

    Author : Sara Folkesson Hansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Alzheimer?s disease; frontotemporal dementia; cerebrospinal fluid; neurodegeneration; proteomics; mass spectrometry; prefractionation; protein identification; quantification;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT There is a great need for biomarkers to diagnose neurodegenerative disorders, such as the cognitive disorders Alzheimer?s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is in contact with the extracellular fluid of the brain and is consequently a valuable medium for identifying biomarkers for neurological disorders. READ MORE

    Abstract : Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is the most common human neuro-degenerative disease characterized by the formation of cerebral plaques. Several are the amyloid-beta (Aβ) variants found in the brain of healthy individuals. READ MORE

  5. 18. Amyloid precursor protein with the Alzheimer´s disease 670/671 mutation : animal and cellular models

    Author : Ewa Kloskowska; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The amyloid precursor protein (APP) and it s derivatives play a key role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer s disease (AD), which is characterized by the presence of multiple aggregates of an APP proteolytic product, Ab, and tau protein in the brains of affected patients. Clinically the disease is manifested by a progressive loss of memory and executive functions. READ MORE
