The Alzheimer´s Disease (AD) is the 7th leading cause of death worldwide, and there is no effective therapy available to cure the disease so far. Current treatment available is based on cholinesterase inhibitors. The common sense is that the secretases activity on APP protein generates ²-amyloid peptides (A²), which aggregate and accumulate in certain parts of the brain, causing mitochond…
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative, irreversible condition with an increasing incidence, linked to the rising life expectancy and genetic factors. Presently, there are only four therapies approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with the current treatment being symptomatic. The pathophysiology of the disease remains uncertain, although various hypotheses are under study…
Sea urchins are marine animals present in all oceans. In Brazil, Echinometra lucunter is ubiquitous and responsible for the majority of the sea-animals accidents. These accidents are mostly traumatic, that is, the spikes penetrate the victim s skin. The animals shelter contains the pedicellaria, which are structures responsible for the nourishment and cleaning of the animal. In some sea u…
The marine environment represents a rich and unknown source of new molecules with biotechnological potential, with known action in ionic channels. Some compounds are already in clinical use, which demonstrates the success of these molecules to become medicines. Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson, lack effective pharmacological treatments, as available drugs only…
