    Description

    Previous studies showed that harnessing innate immunity via CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) modulates age-related defects. This study used elderly female squirrel monkeys as model of sporadic Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Current immunotherapeutic trials for Alzheimer’s disease have amyloid-related imaging flaws, which are linked to the presence of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). Therefore, the...

    Description

    Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in amyloid plaques and transgenic and knock-in mice that express mutant alleles of amyloid precursor protein (APP) have been used to model the effects of Aβ. This study examined visual system plasticity in transgenic mice that express and secrete Aβ throughout the brain in the absence of APP overexpression to explore the...
