Gastrointestinal-Induced Spread of α-Synuclein and Tau Proteins Triggers Comorbid Pathology and Behavioral Impairments in Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s Diseases Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) are two common neurodegenerative disorders, caused by the aggregation of α-synuclein (a-syn) and Tau protein in the brain, res...
Depletion of EFTUD2 Triggers Ferroptosis-Induced Degeneration of Cerebellar Purkinje Cells Background and Motivation The cerebellum plays a crucial role in motor coordination and higher cognitive functions, with the health of cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) being essential for maintaining cerebellar function. Gene regulation based on alternative sp...
Study on the Improvement of Cognitive Function in ICV-STZ-Induced Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model by Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides Research Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system, characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, memory loss, personality changes, and emotion...
Association Study of Perioperative IL8 and IL18 Levels with Brain Basal Ganglia Atrophy Three Months After Surgery Background In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that surgical procedures may accelerate brain atrophy. Meanwhile, the relationship between systemic inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases has also received co...
Original Title: 《Associations of CSF BACE1 with Amyloid Pathology, Neurodegeneration, and Cognition in Alzheimer’s Disease》 Background and Research Purpose Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia in the elderly, characterized by the accumulation of β-amyloid protein (Aβ) plaques in the brain. Beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) ...
Correlation between p-tau217 and Alzheimer’s Disease Neurodegeneration and the Ameliorative Effects of Targeting p-tau217 Immunotherapy in Mouse Tauopathy Introduction Neuron loss is a core issue in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). However, to date, no therapy can halt the neurodegenerative changes associated with AD. Tau is a microtubule-associated prote...
This study utilized induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons to investigate the critical role of lysosome-related vesicles in axonal mRNA transport and mitochondrial homeostasis maintenance. By knocking out BORC subunits (borcs5 or borcs7) to block the entry of lysosome-related vesicles into axons, researchers found that this led to a s...
