Insulin Resistance as a Link between Amyloid-Beta and Tau Pathologies in Alzheimer’s Disease
3 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
Current hypotheses and theories regarding the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) heavily implicate brain insulin resistance (IR) as a key factor. Despite the many well-validated metrics for systemic IR, the absence of biomarkers for brain-specific IR represents a translational gap that has hindered its study in living humans. In our lab, we have been working to develop biomarkers that reflect the common...
