Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
It is showed that Neuropeptide Y (human,rat,mouse) is able to protect cortical neurons from Aβ25-35 toxicity. 2 μM NPY abolishes the toxic effects of Aβ25-35 at 24 and 48 h. The same effect on neuronal survival is observed in neurons exposed to 1 μM and 0.5 μM Neuropeptide Y (human) pretreatments. Pretreatment with Neuropeptide Y (29-64), amide, human (TFA) Increases NGF Synthesis, reduces NGF mRNA, and restores NGF release in cortical neurons exposed to Aβ35-25[1].

Primary Embryonic Cortical Neuron Culture
Primary embryonic cortical neuron culture isolates cortical tissue from prenatal rodents, dissociates it into single cells, and maintains neurons in vitro so that neurite extension, neuronal marker expression, synapse formation, survival, and treatment responses can be examined outside the intact brain.

Amyloid: Congo Red Amyloid Staining
Congo red amyloid staining is a histochemical method used to detect extracellular amyloid deposits in tissue sections based on the affinity of Congo red dye for β-pleated sheet-rich protein aggregates. When bound to amyloid, Congo red produces characteristic apple-green birefringence under polarized light microscopy, which is widely regarded as a diagnostic feature of amyloid deposition in histopathology. The diagnostic principle relies on the combination of dye binding (congophilia) and optical anisotropy under polarized illumination, which distinguishes amyloid from most non-amyloid eosinophilic extracellular deposits in routine histological evaluation. Amyloid identification by Congo red staining remains a cornerstone in diagnostic pathology despite the availability of adjunct methods such as immunohistochemistry and mass spectrometry, particularly because of its ability to localize deposits directly within tissue architecture. The specificity of Congo red-positive deposits is incre

Alzheimer’s Disease Modeling
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive functions and loss of specific types of neurons and synapses. Alzheimer's symptoms can be simulated in mice by injecting drugs (such as Aβ) or genetically modified.
