Current concepts in Alzheimer's disease research: molecules, models and translational perspectives

Dr Bart Rutten, Prof Harry Steinbusch

  1. The amyloid cascade hypothesis has been the prevailing hypothesis in Alzheimer’s Disease research, although the final and most wanted proof i.e. fully successful anti-amyloid clinical trials in patients, is st...

  2. Experimental evidence has demonstrated that several aspects of adult neural stem cells (NSCs), including their quiescence, proliferation, fate specification and differentiation, are regulated by epigenetic mec...
