  • Methods for diagnosing and treating alzheimer's disease (AD) using the molecules that stabilize intracellular calcium (Ca) release
    Patent number: 9464322
    Abstract: The subject technology relates, in part, to a method of treating Alzheimer's Disease (AD), early-stage AD, elevated risk of AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or other forms of age-related cognitive decline in a subject in need thereof by administering to the subject a molecule that promotes calcium-release stabilization in ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and/or inosital triphosphate receptors (InsP3Rs) in brain cells. Diagnostic methods using calcium-release stabilizing immunophilins, junctophilins or calmodulin are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 10, 2012
