The road to restoring neural circuits for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease

Canter, Rebecca G., Penney, Jay, Tsai, Li-Huei·2016·Nature

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive loss of memory and cognition, for which there is no cure. Although genetic studies initially suggested a primary role for amyloid-in Alzheimer's disease, treatment strategies targeted at reducing amyloid-have failed to reverse cognitive symptoms. These clinical findings suggest that cognitive decline is the result of a complex pathophysiology and that targeting amyloid-alone may not be sufficient to treat Alzheimer's disease. Instead, a broad outlook on neural-circuit-damaging processes may yield insights into new therapeutic strategies for curing memory loss in the disease.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Neurons affected by Aβ and p-Tau neurofibrillary pathology in Alzheimer's disease exhibit oxidative damage, impaired calcium handling, defective lysosome function and mitophagy, and reduced DNA repair.

    “Neurons affected by Aβ and p-Tau neurofibrillary pathology in AD exhibit oxidative damage, impaired Ca2+ handling, defective lysosome function and mitophagy, and reduced DNA repair (Canter et al., 2016; Fang et al., 2019; Mattson et al., 2018; Polanco et al., 2018).”

  • All attempts to develop Aβ-targeting drugs to reverse deficits in memory and cognition have ended in failure, despite being successful in reducing the Aβ load.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
