Journal ArticleDOI

Age- and stage-dependent accumulation of advanced glycation end products in intracellular deposits in normal and Alzheimer's disease brains.

TL;DR: Results show that the percentage of AGE-positive neurons (and astroglia) increase both with age and, in AD patients, with the progression of the disease (Braak stages).
Journal ArticleDOI

Mosquito antiviral defense mechanisms: a delicate balance between innate immunity and persistent viral infection.

TL;DR: This review provides an updated and concise summary of recent studies on mosquito antiviral immune responses, which is a key determinant for successful virus transmission and current mosquito transmission-blocking strategies that utilize genetically modified mosquitoes and Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes for resistance to pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

The carbonyl scavengers aminoguanidine and tenilsetam protect against the neurotoxic effects of methylglyoxal.

TL;DR: Pre-incubation of methylglyoxal with a variety of carbonyl scavengers such as aminoguanidine or tenilsetam and the thiol antioxidant lipoic acid significantly reduced its toxicity, suggesting carbony l scavengers might offer a promising therapeutic strategy to reduce the neurotoxicity of reactive carbonyL compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Different characteristics and nucleotide binding properties of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) isoforms.

TL;DR: Data demonstrate that the IMPDH isoforms are differentially regulated by AMP and ATP by a mechanism involving the Bateman domain, communication occurs between the Batemen and catalytic domains and the RP-causing mutations compromise such regulation.
