Early induction of oxidative stress in mouse model of Alzheimer disease with reduced mitochondrial superoxide dismutase activity.

Journal Article PloS one · January 2012 While oxidative stress has been linked to Alzheimer's disease, the underlying pathophysiological relationship is unclear. To examine this relationship, we induced oxidative stress through the genetic ablation of one copy of mitochondrial antioxidant supero ... Full text Cite

Increased expression of p130 in Alzheimer disease.

Journal Article Neurochemical research · April 2007 A number of recent findings support the notion of mechanistic parallels between Alzheimer disease (AD) and oncogenic processes, specifically, that neurons in AD, like cancer cells, display aberrant mitotic cell cycle re-entry. However, the mechanism that d ... Full text Cite

Distribution, levels and phosphorylation of Raf-1 in Alzheimer's disease.

Journal Article Journal of neurochemistry · December 2006 Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, has been increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease due to its critical role in brain function. While we previously demonstrated ... Full text Cite
