  1. 31. Epigenetic and transcriptional effects of full-length LINE-1 retrotransposons in human neural progenitor cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

    Author : Ninoslav Pandiloski; [2021]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Transposable elements (TE) are parasitic genetic entities that have the ability to alter their position within a genome and have the potential to influence its functionality. Although TEs play beneficial roles in the evolution of their host, they are active in various human disorders including neurological diseases, where may contribute to the progress of the disease.

  3. 32. Fluorescent molecules as probes for characterization of amyloid β fibrils

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Denisse Marginean; Ebba Hellstrand; [2021]
    Keywords : Alzheimer s disease; amyloid beta; amyloid; fluorescent probes; fluorescent ligands;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in the world and the World Health Organization has recognized AD as a global public health priority. One of the pathological hallmarks of AD is amyloid plaques formed from amyloid β (Aβ) fibrils. Aβ is formed when amyloid precursor protein is cleaved by secretase enzymes. READ MORE

  4. 33. Regional atrophy correlates of domain-specific episodic memory in early Alzheimer’s disease

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Hannah Baumeister; [2021]
    Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease; episodic memory; amyloid-β; tau; atrophy; neurodegeneration; mnemonic discrimination; response bias; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau depositions as well as neurodegeneration, and is typically accompanied by a progressive decline in episodic memory. Previous research proposes two neural memory networks that process different stimulus domains. READ MORE

  5. 34. Influence of T1 and T2 weighted MRI images on automated  diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Arnold Teo; Daniel Tsada Yosief; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and according to the World Health Organization it contributes to 60-70% of the approximately 50 million total worldwide dementia cases. While AD is easy to diagnose from a patient’s symptoms alone, due to AD atrophying brain tissue, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan can strengthen the diagnosis. READ MORE

  6. 35. Using Transfer Learning to classify different stages of Alzheimer’s disease

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Anton Danker; Jacob Wirgård Wiklund; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The identification of Alzheimer’s disease through the application of various machine learning techniques on neuroimaging data of the likes of MRI is an area of study which has seen intense levels of research in recent years. While many machine learning techniques have existed for a long time, recent advances in Deep Learning and Computer Vision have allowed for better performing predictive models. READ MORE
