Journal Article
Simpson, J. E., Ince, P. G., Haynes, L. J., Theaker, R., Gelsthorpe, C., Baxter, L., …Wharton, S. B. (2010). Population variation in oxidative stress and astrocyte DNA damage in relation to Alzheimer-type pathology in the ageing brain.

Aims: Increasing evidence suggests a role for oxidative damage to DNA in brain ageing and in neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Most studies have focussed on the reduced capacity for DNA repair by neurones, and have not taken...
