Background. The prevalence of dementia is increasing worldwide as the population ages and affects
10 % of the population over 65 years old and 40 % of people over the age of 80.[1] In Kazakhstan, as well
as in other ...

The activation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) is critical for the
induction of synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Aging can alter glutamatergic synaptic transmission
in the hippocampus, and cognitive ...
Increased deposition of amyloid-b peptide (Ab) at the cerebral endothelial cell (CEC) surface has been implicated in enhancement of transmigration of monocytes across the brain blood barrier (BBB) in Alzheimer’s disease ...
The results of our study provide evidence that HT improved animal survival and liver functions by generating an ectopic hepatic mass inside the Peyer’s patches. These observations point to the conclusion that hepatocyte ...
Acute and chronic liver diseases are common in Kazakhstan and other countries. These
diseases are known to cause significant disability and death. In many cases, liver transplantation is the
last resort for patients with ...
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia in the elderly, which accounts up to 80 % of all cases.
•Clinical manifestation of the disease includes cognitive impairments such as attention deficit, spatial ...
There is evidence that the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) is a binding site for amyloid β peptide (Aβ). RAGE is a multiligand cell surface receptor which is normally expressed in brain endothelium and, ...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder, which is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in specific regions of the brain, accompanied by impairment of the ...

Abstract The field of polymer-based membrane engineering has expanded since we first demonstrated the reaction of N-hydroxysuccinimide ester-terminated polymers with cells and tissues almost two decades ago. One remaining ...

An increasing amount of evidence supports the notion that cytotoxic effects of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ), the main constituent of senile plaques in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are strongly associated with its ability to interact ...
Chronic degenerative liver diseases are among most complex social, clinical and
epidemiological health problems worldwide. This is due to the steady increase in the incidence and
mortality of patients with this pathology. ...

Oxidative stress and inflammation are important processes in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent studies have implicated the role of amyloid β-peptides (Aβ) in mediating these processes. In astrocytes, ...

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative
disorder characterized by neuronal loss, cerebrovascular
inflammation, and accumulation of senile plaques in the
brain parenchyma and cerebral blood vessels. ...
The polymer coated cells were shown to be stably attached to bone fragments for at least 2 hours, confirming the bone targeting potential of the polymer. Our next step will be to test this approach in rat model of osteoporosis ...
This study demonstrated that Aβ binding to RAGE at the CECs and astrocytes surface is required for NADPH oxidase complex assembling, resulting in subsequent ROS generation and phosphorylation of cPLA2α. Therefore, understanding ...
Abstract Autologous red blood cell ghosts (RBC ghosts) can carry cytokines to the sites of inflammation. The targeting moiety of the RBC ghosts is associated with the nature of purulent inflammation, where the erythrocytes ...
Viral hepatitis B and C- is a widespread infectious disease of the liver and is a potential
threat to human life. Treatment of HCV and HBV requires prolonged (parenteral or oral) administration
of antiviral and ...

Blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunctions have been implicated in the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Cerebral endothelial cells (CECs) and astrocytes are the main cell components of the BBB. Although amyloid-β oligomers ...
P-selectin and actin cytoskeleton reorganization play an important role in vascular inflammation. In turn, there is increasing evidence that cerebrovascular factors contribute significantly to the
development and progression ...
There is evidence that the deposition of amyloid-beta peptide (Aβ) in brain parenchyma and brain vessels is the main cause of neuronal dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ exhibits multiple cytotoxic effects to ...
