Artificial intelligence in neurodegenerative disease research: use of IBM Watson to identify additional RNA-binding proteins altered in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Acta neuropathologica
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease with no effective treatments. Numerous RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been shown to be altered in ALS, with mutations in 11 RBPs causing familial forms of the disease, a...

Protective effect of Nelumbo nucifera extracts on beta amyloid protein induced apoptosis in PC12 cells, in vitro model of Alzheimer's disease.

Journal of food and drug analysis
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. β-Amyloid (Aβ) has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of AD. Deposits of insoluble Aβ are found in the brains of patients with AD and are one of the pathologi...

Assessing amyloid fibrils and amorphous aggregates: A review.

International journal of biological macromolecules
Protein misfolding and aggregation play a central role in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. These aggregates manifest either as structured amyloid fibrils enriched in β-sheet conformations or as irregu...
