Journal ArticleDOI

Role of omega-3 fatty acids in the treatment of depressive disorders: a comprehensive meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

TL;DR: Omega-3 PUFA resulted effective in RCTs on patients with bipolar disorder, whereas no evidence was found for those exploring their efficacy on depressive symptoms in young populations, perinatal depression, primary disease other than depression and healthy subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

β-Amyloid Monomers Are Neuroprotective

TL;DR: Synthetic Aβ1-42 monomers support the survival of developing neurons under conditions of trophic deprivation and protect mature neurons against excitotoxic death, a process that contributes to the overall neurodegeneration associated with AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

New pharmacological strategies for treatment of Alzheimer's disease: focus on disease modifying drugs

TL;DR: In a chronic, slow progressing pathological process, such as AD, an early start of treatment enhances the chance of success, it is crucial to have biomarkers for early detection of AD-related brain dysfunction, usable before clinical onset.
Journal ArticleDOI

Depression and Alzheimer's disease: Neurobiological links and common pharmacological targets

TL;DR: The evidence on the common molecular pathways between depression and Alzheimer's disease is examined and these pathways are discussed as new pharmacological targets for the treatment of both major depression and Alzheimers disease.
