Aβ-Aggregation-Generated Blue Autofluorescence Illuminates Senile Plaques as Well as Complex Blood and Vascular Pathologies in Alzheimer’s Disease

Blue Autofluorescence Generated by Aβ Aggregation Illuminates Senile Plaques and Complex Blood and Vascular Pathologies in Alzheimer’s Disease Research Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a widespread neurodegenerative disorder globally, with senile plaques being the main pathological hallmark of AD, primarily composed of β-amyloid protein (Aβ)....

Low-dose IL-2 treatment rescues cognitive deficits by repairing the imbalance between Treg and Th17 cells at the middle Alzheimer's disease stage

Low-dose IL-2 treatment rescues cognitive deficits by repairing the imbalance between Treg and Th17 cells at the middle Alzheimer’s disease stage Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by neuronal damage, amyloid plaque deposition, and chronic inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS). ...

Microglia Undergo Sex-Dimorphic Transcriptional and Metabolic Rewiring During Aging

The Role of Microglia in Neuroinflammation: Metabolic and Gender Differences in Aging Research Background Aging is a major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Parkinson’s Disease. Even healthy aging is accompanied by a decline in cognitive function. Previous research has indicated that microglia undergo s...

Co-registration of MALDI-MSI and histology demonstrates gangliosides co-localize with amyloid beta plaques in Alzheimer’s disease

Co-registration of MALDI-MSI and histology demonstrates gangliosides co-localize with amyloid beta plaques in Alzheimer’s disease

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...

Early and Selective Localization of Tau Filaments to Glutamatergic Subcellular Domains within the Human Anterodorsal Thalamus

Background The main purpose of this study is to investigate the distribution and diffusion patterns of tau protein in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease, with a particular focus on the vulnerability of calretinin-positive neurons in the anterodorsal thalamic nucleus of the human subcortical region and the accumulation of tau pathology protein ...

Brain vasculature accumulates tau and is spatially related to tau tangle pathology in Alzheimer's disease

Study of Tau Protein Accumulation in Brain Vasculature in Alzheimer’s Disease Background Introduction Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by neurodegeneration, with primary pathological features including amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). These tangles are composed of tau protein, and these pathological changes are closely relate...

The Influence of APOEε4 on the pTau Interactome in Sporadic Alzheimer's Disease

The Influence of APOEε4 on the pTau Interactome in Sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by extracellular deposition and aggregation of β-amyloid protein (Aβ) forming various types of Aβ deposits and the intracellular accumulation and assembly of abnormally phosphorylated tau p...

Image Classification Based on Bayesian Tensor Modeling for Alzheimer’s Disease Introduction Neuroimaging research is a crucial component of contemporary neuroscience, significantly enhancing our understanding of brain structure and function. Through these non-invasive visualization techniques, researchers can more accurately predict the risk of cer...

Cleavage site-directed antibodies reveal the prion protein in humans is shed by ADAM10 at Y226 and associates with misfolded protein deposits in neurodegenerative diseases

ADAM10-Mediated Human Prion Protein Cleavage and Its Relationship with Neurodegenerative Diseases Background The endopeptidic processing of multifunctional proteins is crucial for regulating their physiological functions and plays a significant role in various pathological conditions. Prion protein (PrP), a widely expressed glycosylphosphatidylinos...

Differences in the Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Proteome in Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment

Differences in the Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Proteome in Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a disease caused by the deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in cerebral blood vessels. It is common not only in the elderly and almost all patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) but can also occur independently of other AD-related pathologies. The presence and severity of CAA promote the progression of AD-related cl...
