Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusible, nonfibrillar ligands derived from Aβ1–42 are potent central nervous system neurotoxins

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that impaired synaptic plasticity and associated memory dysfunction during early stage Alzheimer's disease and severe cellular degeneration and dementia during end stage could be caused by the biphasic impact of Abeta-derived diffusible ligands acting upon particular neural signal transduction pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clusterin (apoJ) alters the aggregation of amyloid β-peptide (Aβ1-42) and forms slowly sedimenting Aβ complexes that cause oxidative stress

TL;DR: This novel activity of slowly sedimenting Aβ may enhance the neurotoxicity of Aβ deposits in AD brains, because soluble complexes have a potential for diffusing to damage distal neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased synaptic sprouting in response to estrogen via an apolipoprotein E-dependent mechanism: implications for Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: A mechanism for the protective effects of estrogens on AD is suggested and a link between two important risk factors in the etiology of AD, the apoE ε4 genotype and an estrogen-deficient state is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age-related activation of microglia and astrocytes : In vitro studies show persistent phenotypes of aging, increased proliferation, and resistance to down-regulation

TL;DR: Both microglia and astrocytes originated from aging cerebral cortex maintain in vitro at least some of the activated phenotypes of aging glia that are observed in vivo, which may allow efficient analysis of glial age changes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Astrocytes and microglia respond to estrogen with increased apoE mRNA in vivo and in vitro.

TL;DR: In situ hybridization in combination with cell-specific markers showed that E2 increased apoE mRNA levels in both astrocytes and microglia, suggesting that heterotypic cellular interactions are important in the brain response to estrogens.
