Selective reduction of APP-BACE1 activity improves memory via NMDA-NR2B receptor-mediated mechanisms in aged PDAPP mice (2019)
Journal Article

β-Amyloid (Aβ) accumulation is an early event of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Inhibition of Aβ production by β-secretase (BACE) has been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy for AD. However, BACE inhibitors lack specificity and have... Read More about Selective reduction of APP-BACE1 activity improves memory via NMDA-NR2B receptor-mediated mechanisms in aged PDAPP mice.

A rapidly acquired foraging-based working memory task, sensitive to hippocampal lesions, reveals age-dependent and age-independent behavioural changes in a mouse model of amyloid pathology (2018)
Journal Article

© 2018 Elsevier Inc. Three experiments examined the ability of mice to forage efficiently for liquid rewards in pots located in an open field arena. Search behaviour was unconstrained other than by the walls of the arena. All mice acquired the task w...

Alterations in endocytic protein expression with increasing age in the transgenic APP695 V717I London mouse model of amyloid pathology: Implications for Alzheimer's disease (2017)
Journal Article

Copyright © 2017 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved. A major risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing age, but the reason behind this association has not been identified. It is thought that the changes in...

Proteins involved in endocytosis are upregulated by ageing in the normal human brain: Implications for the development of Alzheimer's Disease (2017)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2017. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of The Gerontological Society of America. All rights reserved. The greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) is advanced age, but the reason for this association remains unc...

Decreasing the expression of PICALM reduces endocytosis and the activity of β-secretase: Implications for Alzheimer's disease (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 The Author(s). Background: Polymorphisms in the gene for phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein (PICALM), an endocytic-related protein, are associated with a small, increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), strongl...
