(2022-09-19)
Background: Unravelling the mystery of Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires urgent resolution given the worldwide increase of the aging population. There is a growing concern that the current leading AD hypothesis, the amyloid ...
Immunosenescence and Altered Vaccine Efficiency in Older Subjects: A Myth Difficult to Change
(2022-04-01)
Organismal ageing is associated with many physiological changes, including differences in the immune system of most animals. These differences are often considered to be a key cause of age-associated diseases as well as ...
Hyperactivation of monocytes and macrophages in MCI patients contributes to the progression of Alzheimer's disease
(2021-12-01)
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease ultimately manifesting as clinical dementia. Despite considerable effort and ample experimental data, the role of neuroinflammation related ...
Targeting Impaired Antimicrobial Immunity in the Brain for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
(2021-05-04)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and aging is the most common risk factor for developing the disease. The etiology of AD is not known but AD may be considered as a clinical syndrome with multiple ...
Why we should use topological data analysis in ageing: Towards defining the “topological shape of ageing”
(2020-10-27)
Living systems are subject to the arrow of time; from birth, they undergo complex transformations (self-organization) in a constant battle for survival, but inevitably ageing and disease trap them to death. Can ageing be ...
Targeting Infectious Agents as a Therapeutic Strategy in Alzheimer’s Disease
(2020-05-26)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent dementia in the world. Its cause(s) are presently largely unknown. The most common explanation for AD, now, is the amyloid cascade hypothesis, which states that the cause of ...
