These observations open the door to more in-depth investigations looking into a potential mechanistic link between TMEM106b aggregation and pathological processes in neurodegeneration,” Rothstein ...

Lecanemab Favors Early Aggregates. Fluorescently labeled lecanemab (green) bound most strongly to soluble Aβ aggregates ...

Lipids Open the Door. Microglial cells treated with unlipidated (top) or lipidated (bottom) ApoE (yellow) along with fluorescently tagged Aβ (green). Lipidated ApoE was more readily internalized and ...

To Jubao Duan of the University of Chicago, the authors provide compelling evidence. That tau dysregulation derails lipid ...

Maturing Plaques. The oldest plaques (left) contain β-sheets (red) and dense fibrillar cores (blue), while younger plaques (middle) lack dense cores, and the youngest (right) lack either. [Courtesy of ...

The microglia, in turn, seem to benefit, revving up metabolism and phagocytosis. The liver protein ApoA-I was particularly good at bolstering the latter. Overall, the findings suggest that the brain’s ...

A drug that has been used for nearly a century to prevent and dissolve blood clots may also delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study in the October 8 Molecular Psychiatry. Heparin ...

This transgenic mouse model expresses a floxed ATPase type 13A2 (Atp13a2) gene, with loxP sites flanking exons 2 to 3 (The Jackson Laboratory). The ATP13A2 protein is a transmembrane lysosomal ATPase ...
