Amelioration of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis in Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Models: A Potential Role for Aβ.

Emerging data have highlighted the coexistence of multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), both of which are common central nervous system degenerative diseases with a heavy burden on patients, their families, and society. However, it is unclear how MS progresses under an AD pathological background. We aimed to address the question of how MS progresses under an AD pathological background.

Novel object recognition as a facile behavior test for evaluating drug effects in AβPP/PS1 Alzheimer's disease mouse model.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the AβPP/PS1 transgenic mouse model is a commonly used experimental model to mimic the pathological and cognitive impairments in AD. As a classic method to evaluate spatial learning and memory, the Morris water maze is widely applied to study the cognitive deficits in rodent AD models. However, the assay procedure is relatively complicated and requires a properly equipped environment.
