    摘要: The disclosed invention relates to a diagnostic method for Alzheimer's disease based on genotyping the Alpha-2-Macroglobulin locus. A statistically significant correlation was found between inheritance of particular alleles of the Alpha-2-Macroglobulin gene and the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease. The diagnostic method involves the isolation of nucleic acid from an individual and subsequent genotyping by means such as sequencing or restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The invention also provides a means of genotype analysis through protein isotyping Alpha-2-Macroglobulin variant proteins. Finally, kits for nucleic acid analysis or protein analysis are taught.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method of detecting a neurodegenerative disease in a mammal by activating brain tissue of the mammal by application of radiation under conditions effective to promote a simultaneous multiphoton excitation of the brain tissue and to emit a fluorescence characteristic. The fluorescence characteristic is then compared to a standard fluorescence emitted by exciting healthy brain tissue of the mammal under the same conditions used to carry out the activating step. Brain tissue where the fluorescence characteristic differs from the standard fluorescence is identified as potentially having a neurodegenerative disease. Another aspect of the present invention is directed to a method of producing an image of brain tissue from a mammal by activating brain tissue of a mammal with radiation applied under conditions effective to promote a simultaneous multiphoton excitation of the brain tissue and to produce fluorescence. The fluorescence is then collected to produce an image of the brain tissue.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods, and compositions for inhibiting neurodegeneration, e.g., in neuronal cells. The methods and compositions the invention can be used to treat a neurodegenerative disorder, e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and frontotemproal dementia. In some embodiments, the methods and compositions can be used to inhibit neurodegeneration, e.g., caused by tau-mediated synaptic neurodegeneration, encephalitis, brain trauma, or any disorder suffering from weakening synapses.
