Altered DNA base excision repair profile in brain tissue and blood in Alzheimer’s disease
28 May 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder that is the main cause of dementia globally. AD is associated with increased oxidative stress, resulting from imbalance in production and clearance of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS can damage DNA and other macromolecules, leading to genome instability and disrupted cellular functions. Base excision repair (BER)...
