The recent decade has greatly challenged biological research because there has been exponential growth in the amount of information that has been accumulated and published. Now, more than ever before, piles of biological data are waiting to be sieved through robust scientific reasoning and experimentation to produce the final product of basic science: conclusions. Given this situation, biologic...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of neural tissue and the accumulation of extracellular beta-amyloid (Aβ) plaques, leading to the degeneration of neurons via apoptosis. Increased local cholesterol in neuronal systems has been shown to result in the formation of neurotoxic beta-amyloid plaques. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is essential...
