  • Publication number: 20180202997
    Abstract: Provided is a method for diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment. The method for diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment of the present invention identifies expression level of miR-206 of olfactory tissue, by which shows high diagnostic rate in diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment, allowing diagnosis at low cost and biopsy in high stability to lead a marked effect on diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment.

  • Patent number: 9301969
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating neurodegenerative diseases by targeting a specific miRNA. In addition, the present invention relates to a kit for diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases. A miR-206 target found in the present invention, which is highly expressed in both animal models of Alzheimer's disease and human brain samples, is a substantial treatment target selected without artifact errors. An antisense oligonucleotide of the present invention as an inhibitor for miR-206 suggests a successful result in treatment of neurodegenerative diseases by targeting miRNA. The antisense oligonucleotide of the present invention inhibits the function of miR-206 to greatly increase the levels of BDNF and IGF-1 and to increase the regeneration of synapses, thereby treating neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease.

  • Publication number: 20150209390
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides adipose cell extracts and its use. The composition comprising the present extracts and method can be used advantageously for a stem cell-based, noninvasive therapy for treating neurologic disease such as stroke and HD. Also, in contrast to the stem cell transplantation, the present method or composition enables the repeated treatments, due to the convenient administration, thus leading to a more efficient prevention and/or curing of the disease of interest.
