Abstract
The senescence accelerate mouse P8 (SAMP8) is an excellent model of early learning and memory problems. A number of studies have shown that it has cholinergic deficits, oxidative damage, alterations in membrane lipids and circadian rhythm disturbances. The brains of the SAMP8 overproduce amyloid precursor protein (APP), amyloid-beta protein and have an increased physphorylation of tau. An antisense to APP has been developed that reverses the cognitive deficits and oxidative damage. This antisense represents a poten-tial treatment for Alzheimers disease.

Advances in the Molecular Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
This thematic issue will emphasize the recent breakthroughs in the mechanisms of Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis and devotes some understanding of both Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis. It is expected to include studies about cellular and genetic aspects, which help to precipitate the disease, and the immune system-gut microbiome relations ...read more
Blood-based biomarkers in large-scale screening for neurodegenerative diseases
Disease biomarkers are necessary tools that can be employ in several clinical context of use (COU), ranging from the (early) diagnosis, prognosis, prediction, to monitor of disease state and/or drug efficacy. Regarding neurodegenerative diseases, in particular Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a battery of well-validated biomarkers are available, such as cerebrospinal fluid ...read more
