CDK5 and MAPT Gene Expression in Alzheimer's Disease Brain Samples.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease featured by memory loss, neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. Overproduction or insufficient clearance of Aβ leads to its pathological aggregation and deposition, which is considered the predominant neuropathological hallmark of AD. Therefore, reduci...
