screen to assess drugs with the ability to enhance cognitive function, and ultimately, relieve cognitive defects associated with psychiatric illnesses and neurological disorders.
The invention relates to two novel classes of compounds useful as radioligands for in vivo imaging of beta-amyloid fibrils, peptides and plaques in humans. Beta-amyloid peptide deposition in the brain is a pathological feature of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Early detection of beta-amyloid load in...
This technology describes the neuroprotective properties of cannabidiol(CBD), 2-[3-Methyl-6-(1-methylethenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1yl]-5-pentyl-1,3-benzenediol. Cannabidiol is a neuroprotective cannabinoid that does not possess the psychoactive qualities which have previously hampered the development of...
This invention provides a DNA construct that can be useful for both diagnostics and AIDS therapeutics. The construct can be incorporated into a retrovirus or into a cell line. This construct mediates the expression of a selected gene in the presence of HIV replication, but is silent in the absence...
