摘要:
A transgenic animal, preferably a mouse, that expresses human antichymotrypsin (ACT) in brain tissues is provided, together with animal tissue-derived cell lines and progeny animals of said transgenic animal. Progeny are obtained by mating the transgeny animal with select animal strains used as models of Alzheimer's disease, related neurological disorders, or amyloidogenic diseases. Methods utilizing the parent and progeny animals and cells derived therefrom are disclosed for testing compounds for use as anti-inflammatory drugs, inhibitors of amyloidogenesis, and/or inhibitors of tau protein pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease, in the treatment of a variety of neurological diseases.
摘要:
The invention includes a method of treating and preventing a neurological disorder, such as Alzheimer's Disease, in a subject in need thereof by positioning an electromagnetic field emitting source proximal to the subject and exposing the subject to an electromagnetic field having a predetermined frequency for a predetermined absorption period. Preferably, each individual treatment (comprising exposure to the predetermined frequency for the predetermined absorption period) is continued at a predetermined schedule (preferably daily) for a predetermined treatment period.The predetermined frequency, according to a preferred embodiment, is about 918 MHz with a specific absorption rate (SAR) of about 0.25 W/kg+/−2 dB. The predetermined absorption period of this preferred embodiment is about one hour. The treatment period is long-term, being greater than about 6 months and preferably between about 7 and 9 months.

摘要:
A method treating a subject with Alzheimer's disease wherein Aβ-reactive immune cells, splenocytes and lymphocytes, are generated in vitro or in vivo, re-stimulated in vitro, and then adoptively transferred into the cognitively-impaired subject. The population of immune cells can be derived from a donor with a natural or adaptive immune response to Aβ, stimulated by exposure to Aβ in vivo. The donor cells are then collected and re-stimulated by subsequent exposure to Aβ in vitro prior to administration to the subject. Alternatively, the population of immune cells can be derived from the subject and then stimulated by exposure to Aβ in vitro.
摘要:
The subject invention concerns methods for preventing and/or treating neurodegenerative conditions associated with Abeta peptide accumulation in neural tissue in a human or animal. The subject invention also concerns methods for preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease-like neuropathology in a person or animal having trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome). In one embodiment, a method of the invention comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that inhibits function or activity of a Raf protein to a person or animal in need of treatment. In a specific embodiment, the Raf inhibitor is Sorafenib (NEXAVAR). Neurodegenerative conditions contemplated within the scope of the present invention include, for example, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. The subject invention also concerns methods for preventing or inhibiting neuronal cell death and/or improving cell viability.
摘要:
A method of treating and preventing a neurological disorder, such as Alzheimer's disease, in a subject in need thereof by positioning an electromagnetic field emitting source proximal to the subject and exposing the subject to an electromagnetic field having a predetermined frequency (preferably ≈300-3,000 MHz) for a predetermined absorption period (preferably greater than ≈3 days). Each individual treatment (comprising exposure to the predetermined frequency for the predetermined absorption period) is continued at a predetermined schedule for a predetermined treatment period. The EMF can have a specific absorption rate up to about 8 W/kg. The methodology enhances cognition in the subject and/or treats/prevents the underlying neurological disorder or a symptom thereof.
