20090117120 | Transgenic animal model for alzheimer's disease - Provided is a novel APP (amyloid precursor protein) transgenic non-human animal modeling in vivo the pathophysiological effects and effects on cognitive behavior of early intraneuronal and extracellular brain parenchymal amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition and cerebral amyloid angiopathy associated with brain microhemorrhages and reduced vasoreactivity and blood flow. Furthermore, methods of screening for therapeutic or diagnostic agents useful in the treatment or diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, in particular for improving blood flow to the brain are provided as well as the corresponding therapeutic methods. | 05-07-2009 |
20100169988 | MEANS AND METHODS FOR ISOLATING AND DETERMINING NOVEL TARGETS FOR THE TREATMENT OF NEURODEGENERATIVE, NEUROLOGICAL OR NEUROPSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS AND COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING THE SAME - A novel method of identifying and obtaining molecules interacting with neurodegenerative, neurological or neuropsychiatric disorder-associated proteins is provided, which is suitable for drug screening and drug development. Furthermore, drugs and drug targets for the therapeutic intervention of neurodegenerative, neurological or neuropsychiatric disorders, in particular Alzheimer's disease are described. | 07-01-2010 |
20100172919 | NOVELTREATMENT FOR NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS - Provided are novel drugs and methods in the treatment as well as diagnosis of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and amyloid-beta pathology/amyloidosis. More specifically, the use of erythropoietin and analogs thereof for the treatment of Aβ peptide related brain impairments is described. Furthermore, the use of claudin-5 and variants thereof as biomarker for Alzheimer's disease and for the progression of Alzheimer's disease, respectively, is provided. | 07-08-2010 |
20100297108 | METHOD OF PROVIDING PATIENT SPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSE IN AMYLOIDOSES AND PROTEIN AGGREGATION DISORDERS - A novel treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other disorders involving protein misfolding or aggregation is provided by enhancing or sustaining an antibody response against predominantly directed against pathological protein aggregates or neo-epitopes present on pathogenic forms of said protein or protein complex. Furthermore, therapeutic methods are also described, wherein ex vivo stimulated antigen-selected peripheral blood lymphocytes are regrafted into the cognate donor. | 11-25-2010 |
