  • However, little is known about how hypoxia affects the ability of microglia, resident CNS macrophages, to respond to subsequent inflammatory challenges that are often present during neurodegenerative processes. (frontiersin.org)
  • Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, or prion disease, that affects deer, elk, and moose. (cdc.gov)
  • The amino acid variation S326C of human OGG1 disrupts Ser-326 phosphorylation site and affects susceptibility to a variety of cancers [9]. (deepdyve.com)
  • We annotated targets and eligibility criteria for 3238 neurodegenerative disease trials registered at ClinicalTrials.gov from 2000 to 2020. (nature.com)
  • Mar. 3, 2020 The toxic protein tau is a key biological feature in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. (sciencedaily.com)
  • It is conceivable that such pathologies could confer a susceptibility to further acute inflammation or lead to hypo-perfusion, thus exacerbating neuronal injury. (biorxiv.org)
  • Increased susceptibility to the long-term effects of OS and inflammatory insults are thought to be contributing factors to the decrements in cognitive and/or motor performance seen in ageing and other neurodegenerative diseases. (cambridge.org)
  • We used 2 nonhuman primate species, cynomolgus macaques and squirrel monkeys, as human models for CWD susceptibility. (cdc.gov)
  • Unravelling it requires to simultaneously identify, characterize and quantify exogenous and endogenous exposures and modifiable risk factors that predispose to and predict disease throughout the human life span. (aiche.org)
  • Numerous harmful factors that affect the human body from birth to old age cause many disturbances, e.g., in the structure of the genome, inducing cell apoptosis and their degeneration, which leads to the development of many diseases, including cancer. (mdpi.com)
  • She is studying the role of the human erythrocyte in host susceptibility to malaria. (stanford.edu)
  • Our findings have implications for understanding the disease, but more importantly for the development of therapies against Alzheimer's, which are directed against either beta-amyloid or tau. (sciencedaily.com)
  • Liddelow examines the role of astrocytes in central nervous system injury and neurodegenerative disease, with the goal of developing new therapies. (stanford.edu)
