It’s ‘And,’ Not ‘Either-Or’: C9ORF72 Mechanisms of Action are Linked Beyond the Nucleus: TDP-43 Sticks Together, For Better or Worse Going the Distance: FUS Travels to Terminals, Drops Off RNA When RNA transcripts aren’t processed properly or don’t make ...
Scientists say chaperones keep FUS from joining up with aggregating proteins as FUS makes its way down axons to deliver RNAs for local translation. ALS/FTD mutations bungle the process.
What's the use of measuring neurofilament light in blood? The marker could help with AD trial enrollment and measuring drug effects. It could even guide brain-sparing improvements in heart surgery, say researchers at AAIC 18.
11th ICFTD Meeting in Sydney Sorts Out Clinical Subtypes Natural History Studies Provide Foundation for FTD Research Tracking Onset and Progression of Frontotemporal Dementia A Proteomics Dive into Cause of Frontotemporal Dementia Encompassing more than ...
Swine that express mutated human SOD1 exhibit the hallmarks of ALS pathology, including aggregates and degeneration in motor neurons, preceded by a lengthy preclinical phase.
At SfN, some scientists described how circulating immune cells deliver aging to the mouse hippocampus; others held off parkinsonism by blocking the effects of eotaxin’s rise in blood. Human trials are starting.
Recent conferences revealed that tau is most toxic in oligomeric form, that tau oligomers propagate throughout the brain, and that tau oligomers might harm synapses from within or via astrocytes.
Toxic Stew of Aβ Dimers Hides Out in Human Plaques How Immune Cells From Blood Beget Aging in Brain Toxic Tau: Who Are You, and Where Are You From? Tau Silences, Aβ Inflames; Hitting Excitatory Synapses Hardest When Glial Clocks Fall Out of Sync, ...
