RESEARCH MODELS Modification Details This animal is a cross between a PSEN1 knock-in line and an APP over-expressing line. The PS1 knock-in line was generated by introducing two point mutations in the wild-type mouse PSEN1, corresponding to the mutations M233T and L235P.
CONFERENCE COVERAGE 2013-11-26 Conference Coverage Clinical trials, particularly for Alzheimer’s disease, often struggle to find participants fast enough and retain them until the trial is over. As more drugs move into Phase 3, this is increasingly seen as a major bottleneck in the mov
CONFERENCE COVERAGE 2013-11-26 Conference Coverage Researchers are taking aim at amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with an antisense oligonucleotide targeted toward microRNA (miRNA), those nucleic acid snippets that each regulate hundreds of mRNAs. A single anti-miRNA therapeutic could tun
RESEARCH MODELS Summary This widely-used and extensively characterized mouse model of AD was developed by researchers at Novartis and the University of Basel. These mice have a 7-fold overexpression of mutant human APP bearing the pathgenic Swedish mutation. The original
