Anti‐PrP monoclonal antibody as a novel treatment for neurogenesis in mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

Abstract Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common degenerative disease characterized by cognitive impairment, memory decline, and language disorder for which there is no effective treatment. Neurogenesis has been indicated in AD and may play an important role in the pathogenesis o...
