Protein Disulfide Isomerase Endoplasmic Reticulum Protein 57 (ERP57) is Protective Against ALS-Associated Mutant TDP-43 in Neuronal Cells

Study on the Protective Effect of ERP57 on ALS-related Mutant TDP-43 in Neuronal Cells Introduction Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a severe neurodegenerative disease affecting motor neurons. Almost all ALS cases (97%) and about 50% of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) cases show a pathological form of Tar-DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43), indica...

Aberrant CHCHD2-Associated Mitochondriopathy in Kii ALS/PDC Astrocytes

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...

Annexin A11 Aggregation in FTLD-TDP Type C and Related Neurodegenerative Disease Proteinopathies

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...

Single-Nucleus Sequencing Reveals Enriched Expression of Genetic Risk Factors in ALS-Sensitive Neurons

Publication of a New Study on ALS Neurodegeneration in 《Nature Aging》 Throughout human history, numerous mysterious diseases have posed significant challenges for scientific research. Among these, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease, is known for the gradual loss of muscle function and disability it causes. ...
