Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy in higher eukaryotes

Daniel J. Klionsky, +235 more
- 16 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: A set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of the methods that can be used by investigators who are attempting to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as by reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that investigate these processes are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative damage is the earliest event in Alzheimer disease.

TL;DR: The observations indicate that increased oxidative damage is an early event in AD that decreases with disease progression and lesion formation and suggest that AD is associated with compensatory changes that reduce damage from reactive oxygen.

Best Care at Lower Cost: The Path to Continuously Learning Health Care in America

TL;DR: The knowledge and tools exist to put the health system on the right course to achieve continuous improvement and better quality care at a lower cost, and a better use of data is a critical element of a continuously improving health system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial abnormalities in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Morphometric analysis showed that mitochondria are significantly reduced in Alzheimer's disease, and the relationship shown here between the site and extent of mitochondrial abnormalities and oxidative damage suggests an intimate and early association between these features in dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iron accumulation in Alzheimer disease is a source of redox-generated free radicals.

TL;DR: It is found, using a modified histochemical technique that relies on the formation of mixed valence iron complexes, that redox-active iron is associated with the senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles-the pathological hallmark lesions of Alzheimer disease.
