An expression system combining a unit for the expression of the gene of interest reinforced by the hepatitis B virus X transactivator and a selectable gene weakened by the insertion of an A+T-rich sequence derived from the 3'-untranslated region of the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor mRNA is described. This vector allows rapid one-step isolation of highly productive Chinese hamster ovary clones.

Background: Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) via MRI is costly and can be limited by regional availability. With the recent advancements and discovery of amyloid in the retina, diagnosis of AD and the effect of AD pathology on the retina is becoming well characterized. However, the prevalence of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) and its effects on the retina are less well known.

Background: Synaptic loss predicts cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the critical disease modifying molecular mechanisms of synaptic failure remain elusive. Animal studies implicate the increased activation of cytosolic phospholipase (cPLA2) activation in synaptic loss and neuroinflammation.

Background: The neuroimmune response, characterised by the proliferation and activation of microglial cells, is a driver of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the extent of immune cell infiltration and interactions in the human AD brain are yet to be established in detail. While microglial cells are at the centre of this neuroimmune response, recent research has explored the possibility of peripheral immune cell involvement, typically focusing on T-cell infiltration.
