Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the leading form of senile dementia, affecting ∼6 million Americans and having a national economic impact of $321 billion, numbers expected to double by 2050. The major pathological hallmarks of AD include Amyloid Beta (Aβ) plaques and Tau neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). The first goal of this research was to develop novel forms of carbon dots (CD) using various precursors.

Background: The impact of probiotics as gut and immunological modulator in restoring gut microbial balance and immune cells expression have generated much attention in the health sector. Its inhibitory effect on bacterial translocation and associated neural inflammatory processes has been reported. However, there is scarcity of data on its neuroprotective impact against neuroinflammation-associated neurodegeneration and memory impairment.

Background: The TREAT-AD centers aim to improve Alzheimer's Disease (AD) research by offering free, high-quality tools and technologies. Lyn is a tyrosine kinase that belongs to the Src family kinases. The expression of Lyn and its activity have been implicated in AD.

Over the past decades, AD clinical trials have primarily relied on classical statistical analysis methodology such as the mixed model for repeated measures (MMRM) to estimate treatment effects. These conventional treatment effect quantifications are given as group differences in clinical outcome measures at a single visit.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with neuroinflammation and heightened production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the brain from overactive NADPH Oxidase 2 (NOX2). The current study examines whether administration of a novel, brain-penetrant NOX2 inhibitor (CPP11G & CPP11H) reduces amyloid plaque load and improves AD-associated vascular dysfunction in a male APP-PS1 mouse model of AD.
Method: Intraperitoneal injections of CPP11G (n = 1) or CPP11H (n = 2) three times per week began at 9-10 months of age in the treatment APP-PS1 group (15 mg/kg).
