Massive meta-analysis finds the longevity gene’s VS haplotype staves off mild cognitive impairment and AD. It reduces amyloid burden.
This update of the Allen Brain Institute atlas reveals detailed anatomical structures and provides a common framework for comparing brain datasets.
Separately, cerebrovascular disease drove an uptick in neurofilament light in the brain, indicating neurodegeneration.
The plasma biomarker neurofilament light was able to distinguish individual mutation carriers from noncarriers three years prior to onset.
Researchers identify a way to isolate human astrocytes generated from induced pluripotent stem cells. And astrocytes stand out in FTD-prone brain areas.
As the SARS-Cov-2 infection peak passes in some areas, scientists are resuming lab work and clinical studies, albeit with new safety protocols in place. Regions differ greatly in how fast they can reopen.
A GWAS of co-expression modules identifies a haplotype that disrupts lysosomes and myelination. ApoE4 and Aβ regulate the same module.
Post-translational modifications differ from those in AD tau fibrils, and may dictate tau strains.
The protease suppresses Aβ in Down’s syndrome organoids.
This neuronal protein regulates the complement cascade in the developing brain. Could it do the same in aging or neurodegenerative disease?
Carriers accumulate fewer tangles than noncarriers for a given amount of amyloid, explaining how the gene variant may lower a person’s Alzheimer’s risk.
In the mouse retina, these tender threads connect pericytes on nearby capillaries. They enable cells to coordinate constriction and dilation of blood vessels in response to neuronal activity.
Without the WD domain of Atg16L1, required for a newly discovered type of endocytosis, old mice develop hallmark pathologies of AD.
Dendritic tau suppresses production of nitric oxide, which prevents blood vessels from dilating in response to neural activity.
Grown on doughnut-shaped supports, the cultures survive for years. They offer a versatile system for studying Alzheimer’s disease, the authors claim.
