Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by memory loss, cognitive decline, and
devastating neurodegeneration, not only as a result of the extracellular accumulation of beta …

Scientific evidence collected over the past 4 decades suggests that a loss of cholinergic
innervation in the cerebral cortex of patients with Alzheimer's disease is an early pathogenic …

The neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) can regulate neuronal excitability by acting on the
cys-loop cation-conducting ligand-gated nicotinic ACh receptor (nAChR) channels. These …

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the major form of senile dementia, characterized by neuronal
loss, extracellular deposits, and neurofibrillary tangles. It is accompanied by a loss of …

Several different receptor proteins have been identified that bind monomeric, oligomeric, or
fibrillar forms of amyloid-β (Aβ)." Good" receptors internalize Aβ or promote its transcytosis …

Biological membranes show lateral and transverse asymmetric lipid distribution. Cholesterol
(Chol) localizes in both hemilayers, but in the external one it is mostly condensed in lipid …

Background: β-Caryophyllene (BCP) is a natural bicyclic sesquiterpene abundantly found in
essential oils from various spices, fruits and medicinal as well as ornamental plants. It is …

Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are ligand-gated ion channels that are
widely distributed both pre-and post-synaptically in the mammalian brain. By modulating …

The human α7 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene (CHRNA7) is ubiquitously
expressed in both the central nervous system and in the periphery. CHRNA7 is genetically …
