Hippocampal Neurons - The Destructive Force Behind Epilepsy and Mental Disorders Background Introduction Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a complex multi-system genetic disorder that manifests with lesions in the brain, skin, heart, kidneys, and other organs as the patient ages. Clinically, TSC presents with symptoms such as epilepsy and develop...

Background Introduction In this paper, the researchers discuss the impact of aging on the functionality of all cell types in the central nervous system (CNS) and its role in neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these age-related changes and their contribution to diseases remain poorly u...

Prediction of Invasiveness and Treatment Resistance Behavior of Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors Based on Genome-Wide Loss of Heterozygosity Background: Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) are mostly benign, but a small portion exhibit invasive and treatment-resistant behaviors, continuing to grow or metastasize even after surgery, conventiona...

Research Report Titled “Comprehensive Evaluation of TDP-43 Neuropathology Data in the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center Database” Research Background TDP-43 proteinopathy is a significant neuropathological feature in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-TDP), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS-TDP), and age-related limbic TDP-43 encephalo...

Study Report on Abnormal CHCHD2-Related Mitochondrial Pathology in Astrocytes in Kii ALS/PDC I. Research Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Parkinsonism-dementia complex (ALS/PDC) is a rare and complex neurodegenerative disorder primarily observed in Western Pacific islands such as Japan, Guam, and Papua New Guinea. Patients with this disease...

Research Background Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a common disease involving lesions in the central nervous system, characterized mainly by demyelination of neuronal axons and neuronal damage. The heterogeneity of the disease is extremely high, meaning that different patients exhibit varying symptoms and pathological mechanisms, which greatly complica...

Co-localization of Gangliosides with Amyloid Beta Plaques in Alzheimer’s Disease Detected by MALDI-MSI and Histology Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive impairment and behavioral changes. Historically, AD research has focused on misfolded proteins, but with advancements in mass spectrometry...

Study on Annexin A11 Aggregation and TDP-43 Proteinopathies in Neurodegenerative Diseases In this research report published in Acta Neuropathologica, researchers led by John L. Robinson from the University of Pennsylvania investigate the aggregation phenomena of Annexin A11 in neurodegenerative diseases, particularly in FTLD-TDP Type C, which is as...

Association of Adverse Transcriptomic Subtypes of Non-WNT/Non-SHH Medulloblastoma with the Dominance of Proliferative and Progenitor-like Subpopulations Research Background Medulloblastoma (MB) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the central nervous system in children. Based on molecular characteristics, the medical community typically cl...

Changes in Gene Expression and Protein Insolubility in Alzheimer’s Disease Progression Background Introduction As the most common type of dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is well-known for its two main neuropathological features: amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Amyloid plaques consist of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide segments generat...
