1. 1. Characterization of familial Alzheimer’s disease using unsupervised learningalgorithmsA data analysis of Alzheimer’s disease cases

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för informationsteknologi

   Author : Tim Littau; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Familial Alzheimer's Disease (FAD) is characterized by an early onset, cognitive impairment and dementia. Besides the symptomatic characterization, FAD shows an abundance of amyloid beta and tau protein in the patients' brains. READ MORE

3. 2. Intermittent fasting improves cognitive abilities in Alzheimer’s disease

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Hanna Ek; [2022]
   Keywords : Intermittent fasting; ketogenic diet; Alzheimer’s disease; cognition;

   Abstract : Alzheimer's disease is the most common dementia disease and the main cause of death. The hallmark is neurofibrillary tangles (abnormal aggregates of tau protein) and beta-amyloid (Aβ) neuritic plaques that leads to impaired cognitive function such as memory loss and learning difficulties.

4. 3. FDG PET and MRI as biomarkers of Tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease

   University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

   Author : Putu Ayuwidia Ekaputri; [2021]
   Keywords : Alzheimer’s disease; fdg pet; mri; tau pet; tau pathology;

   Abstract : Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are commonly used in a clinical setting as an examination in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) patients. FDG PET is an imaging tool to evaluate hypometabolism; meanwhile, the MRI observes the brain volume. READ MORE

5. 4. The medial temporal lobe subregional atrophy in early onset and late onset amnestic variant Alzheimer’s disease

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

   Author : Hmon Wutt; [2021]
   Keywords : Medial temporal lobe subregional atrophy; Early onset AD vs late onset AD; Amnestic variant of AD; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Memory impairment and prominent hippocampal atrophy are the most recognisable features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It has been known that hippocampus and surrounding medial temporal lobe (MTL) structures support memory processes. However, specific function of each MTL subfield remains to be elucidated. READ MORE

6. 5. Bacterial Display of a Tau-Binding Affibody Construct:Towards Affinity Maturation

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Moira Ek; [2020]
   Keywords : Microtubule-associated protein tau; Neurodegenerative disorders; Alzheimer’s disease; Affibody molecules; Affinity maturation; Staphylococcal surface display; Escherichia coli display; Flow cytometry; Cell sorting;

   Abstract : Aggregation of microtubule-associated protein tau is involved in the pathology of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. The affibody TP4 has been shown to inhibit this aggregation process, and its target-binding positions were previously grafted onto a dimeric affibody scaffold, creating the sequestrin seqTP4.
