Parkin overexpression ameliorates hippocampal long-term potentiation and -amyloid load in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model
8 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a severe decline of memory performance. A widely studied AD mouse model is the APPswe/PSEN1ΔE9 (APP/PS1) strain, as mice exhibit amyloid plaques as well as impaired memory capacities. To test whether restoring synaptic plasticity and decreasing β-amyloid load by Parkin could represent a potential therapeutic target for AD, we...
