1. Statin treatment and beta-Amyloid Production in Patients with Alzheimer s Disease
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder pathologically characterized by neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. According to the amyloid cascade hypothesis, the increased production of beta-amyloid (Abeta), derived form the amyloid precursor protein (APP), and its aggregation into plaques are key pathological events, driving neurodegeneration in AD.

2. Evaluation of amyloid precursor protein and ß-amyloid as biomarkers for Alzheimer s disease
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by accumulations of neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. The major components of the amyloid deposits are the ß-amyloid (Aß) peptides derived from the amyloid precursor protein (APP). LÄS MER
3. Oxidative mechanisms in London Familial Alzheimer´s disease and LPS-induced inflammation
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer´s disease (AD) is the most common of the progressive neurodegenerative disorders and is characterized by the formation of Aβ deposits, neurofibrillary tangles and loss of neurons. Additional features of the disease are inflammation, increased oxidative stress and modified iron metabolism. LÄS MER
4. Alzheimer´s disease-related amyloid precursor protein and presenlin genes : normal function and pathophysiology
Sammanfattning : Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised neuropathologically by the presence of plaques and tangles in the brain. AD can be sub-grouped into early onset (EOAD, age of onset ... LÄS MER
5. Molecular Aspects of Transthyretin Amyloid Disease
Sammanfattning : This thesis was made to get a deeper understanding of how chaperones interact with unstable, aggregation prone, misfolded proteins involved in human disease. Over the last two decades, there has been much focus on misfolding diseases within the fields of biochemistry and molecular biotechnology research. LÄS MER
