Potential application of human neural crest-derived nasal turbinate stem cells for the treatment of neuropathology and impaired cognition in models of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, human neural crest-derived nasal turbinate stem cells (hNTSCs) were evaluated in comparison with human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Journal ArticleDOI

Extra-cranial factors in the development of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Clinical research into the prevention of dementia needs to take this interplay of organ system dysfunction into account and the design of therapeutic interventions needs to address dysfunction in more than one system at a time.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields on learning and memory abilities of STZ-induced dementia rats.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that the pulsed EMF exposure can improve the ability of learning and memory in STZ-induced dementia rats and this effect may be related to the process of IGF signal transduction, suggesting a potential role for the pulsing EMF for the amelioration of cognition impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant, Hypoglycemic and Neuroprotective Activities of Extracts from Fruits Native to the Amazon Region: A Review

TL;DR: This review provides a synopsis of the recent literature exploring the extracts from native fruits to the Amazon region that could efficiently prevent pathologies associated with oxidative stress, and cellular maintenance mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Comprehensive, Multi-Modal Strategy to Mitigate Alzheimer's Disease Risk Factors Improves Aspects of Metabolism and Offsets Cognitive Decline in Individuals with Cognitive Impairment.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that a comprehensive and personalized approach designed to mitigate AD risk factors can improve risk factor scores and stabilize cognitive function, warranting more extensive and placebo-controlled clinical studies.

Akt Promotes Cell Survival by Phosphorylating and Inhibiting a Forkhead Transcription Factor

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Akt also regulates the activity of FKHRL1, a member of the Forkhead family of transcription factors, which triggers apoptosis most likely by inducing the expression of genes that are critical for cell death, such as the Fas ligand gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Akt Phosphorylation of BAD Couples Survival Signals to the Cell-Intrinsic Death Machinery

TL;DR: It is shown that growth factor activation of the PI3'K/Akt signaling pathway culminates in the phosphorylation of the BCL-2 family member BAD, thereby suppressing apoptosis and promoting cell survival.
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

Interleukin-3-Induced Phosphorylation of BAD Through the Protein Kinase Akt

TL;DR: The proapoptotic function of BAD is regulated by the PI 3-kinase-Akt pathway, and active, but not inactive, forms of Akt were found to phosphorylate BAD in vivo and in vitro at the same residues that are phosphorylated in response to IL-3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and Function of 3-Phosphorylated Inositol Lipids

TL;DR: This review is focused on the 3-phosphoinositide lipids, the synthesis of which is acutely triggered by extracellular stimuli, the enzymes responsible for their synthesis and metabolism, and their cell biological roles.
