Towards a unifying hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease: cholinergic system linked to plaques, tangles and neuroinflammationKannan Sivaprakasam
Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, 14853 2703, USA
Curr Med Chem 13:2179-88. 2006..For the first time, a coherent view of amyloid aggregation is presented in this review. The possible role of neuroinflammatory response in the events leading to the degeneration of cholinergic neurons is also discussed...
Molecular properties of local anesthetics as predictors of affinity for nicotinic acetylcholine receptorsONE R PAGAN
Department of Molecular Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853, USA
J Neurosci Res 85:2943-9. 2007..The predicted values of IC(50) correlated well with the published results both for neuronal and for electroplaque-desensitized nAChR, suggesting that the results can be generalized to include neuronal nAChRs...
Minimal RNA aptamer sequences that can inhibit or alleviate noncompetitive inhibition of the muscle-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptorKannan Sivaprakasam
Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 2703, USA
J Membr Biol 233:1-12. 2010..We demonstrate that a truncated class I aptamer containing a sequence of seven nucleotides inhibits the nAChR and that a truncated class II aptamer containing a sequence of only four nucleotides can alleviate MK-801 inhibition...
