Nanoscopic Mapping of the Extracellular Space in Amyloid Plaque‐rich Cortex [PDF]
Advanced ScienceA hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the accumulation of amyloid plaques, primarily composed of misfolded amyloid β (Aβ) peptides. Complementary high‐resolution imaging techniques are employed to investigate the plaque penetrability and the ...

Current Techniques for Investigating the Brain Extracellular Space [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 The brain extracellular space (ECS) is a continuous reticular compartment that lies between the cells of the brain. It is vast in extent relative to its resident cells, yet, at the same time the nano- to micrometer dimensions of its channels and ...

An Isotonic Model of Neuron Swelling Based on Co-Transport of Salt and Water
Membranes, 2023 Neurons spend most of their energy building ion gradients across the cell membrane. During energy deprivation the neurons swell, and the concomitant mixing of their ions is commonly assumed to lead toward a Donnan equilibrium, at which the concentration ...

New Insights into Alzheimer’s Disease: Novel Pathogenesis, Drug Target and Delivery
Pharmaceutics, 2023 Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common type of dementia, is characterized by senile plaques composed of amyloid β protein (Aβ) and neurofilament tangles derived from the hyperphosphorylation of tau protein.

Unconventional Pathways of Protein Secretion: Mammals vs. Plants
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 In eukaryotes, many proteins contain an N-terminal signal peptide that allows their translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum followed by secretion outside the cell according to the classical secretory system. However, an increasing number of secreted
