摘要:
The present invention relates to compounds, preparation and uses thereof, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. The present invention discloses novel compounds more particularly useful for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other similar diseases, and more specifically the inventive compounds modulate (in particular, inhibit) the level of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) exhibited by cells or tissues; Aβ peptide is a major component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer's sufferers. This invention also relates the use of these inhibitors to prevent, treat or ameliorate the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease or any Amyloid-β-Peptide Related Disorder.

摘要:
This application concerns methods and compositions that can be used for detecting the Alzheimer disease in mammals, particularly in humans. It describes in particular serum markers for Alzheimer's disease and the way they are used for diagnostic procedures. It also concerns tools and/or kits that can be used for applying these procedures (reagents, probes, primers, antibodies, chips, cells, etc.) with the preparation thereof and the way to use them. The invention can be used to detect the presence or the progression of Alzheimer illness in mammals, including at early stages of the disease.
摘要:
The invention relates to compositions and methods for treating nervous disorders. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of treating amyloïd beta peptide-related disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease, using Rac1 inhibitors. The invention may be used in mammalian subjects, particularly human subjects, at various stages of the disease, including disease onset. The invention also provides methods of producing, identifying, selecting or optimising compounds for use in the treatment of amyloïd beta peptide-related disorders, based on a determination of the ability of a test compound to inhibit Rac1.

The present invention relates to the Grb3-3 protein, nucleotide sequence encoding this protein, and variants thereof, such as antisense sequences. The invention further relates to vectors comprising these sequences and to methods for inducing cell death.
摘要:
The invention concerns a method for identifying and/or cloning nucleic acid regions representing qualitative differences associated with alternative splicing events and/or with insertions, deletions located in RNA transcribed genome regions, between two physiological situations, comprising either hybridization of RNA derived from the test situation with cDNA's derived from the reference situation and/or reciprocally, or double-strand hybridization of cDNA derived from the test situation with cDNA's derived from the reference situation; and identifying and/or cloning nucleic acids representing qualitative differences. The invention also concerns compositions or banks of nucleic acids representing qualitative differences between two physiological situations, obtainable by the above method, and their use as probe, for identifying genes or molecules of interest, or still for example in methods of pharmacogenomics, and profiling of molecules relative to their therapeutic and/or toxic effects. The invention further concerns the use of dysregulation of splicing RNA as markers for predicting molecule toxicity and/or efficacy, and as markers in pharmacogenomics.
