Rationale and design of the “NEurodegeneration: Traumatic brain injury as Origin of the Neuropathology (NEwTON)” study: a prospective cohort study of individuals at risk for chronic traumatic encephalopathy

Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2022
Background Repetitive head injury in contact sports is associated with cognitive, neurobehavioral, and motor impairments and linked to a unique neurodegenerative disorder: chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Production of Recombinant Alpha-Synuclein: Still No Standardized Protocol in Sight

Biomolecules, 2022
Synucleinopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by the abnormal accumulation of the protein alpha-synuclein (aSyn). aSyn is an intrinsically disordered protein that can adopt different aggregation states, some of which may be ...

Severe CTE and TDP-43 pathology in a former professional soccer player with dementia: a clinicopathological case report and review of the literature

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2023
In the last decades, numerous post-mortem case series have documented chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in former contact-sport athletes, though reports of CTE pathology in former soccer players are scarce.

Alpha-Synuclein: Mechanisms of Release and Pathology Progression in Synucleinopathies

Cells, 2021
The accumulation of misfolded alpha-synuclein (aSyn) throughout the brain, as Lewy pathology, is a phenomenon central to Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathogenesis.

Mild traumatic brain injury induces microvascular injury and accelerates Alzheimer-like pathogenesis in mice

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2021
Introduction Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered as the most robust environmental risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Besides direct neuronal injury and neuroinflammation, vascular impairment is also a hallmark event of the pathological ...

Pharmacological Modulators of Tau Aggregation and Spreading

Brain Sciences, 2020
Tauopathies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the deposition of aggregates composed of abnormal tau protein in the brain. Additionally, misfolded forms of tau can propagate from cell to cell and throughout the brain.

High-resolution genome topology of human retina uncovers super enhancer-promoter interactions at tissue-specific and multifactorial disease loci

Nature Communications, 2022
The genome-wide high-resolution chromatin contact of the human retina identifies genetic control of cell-type specific gene expression pattern, missing heritability in retinopathies, and candidate genes/variants for diseases including AMD and glaucoma.

C9orf72 repeat expansions cause neurodegeneration in Drosophila through arginine-rich proteins [PDF]

, 2014
An expanded GGGGCC repeat in C9orf72 is the most common genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A fundamental question is whether toxicity is driven by the repeat RNA itself and/or by dipeptide repeat proteins ...

Analysis of hemisphere-dependent effects of unilateral intrastriatal injection of α-synuclein pre-formed fibrils on mitochondrial protein levels, dynamics, and function

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2022
Genetic and neuropathological evidence strongly implicates aberrant forms of α-synuclein in neurodegeneration. Antibodies specific for α-synuclein phosphorylated at serine 129 (pS129) are selective for the pathological protein aggregates that are ...

New zebrafish models of neurodegeneration [PDF]

, 2015
In modern biomedicine, the increasing need to develop experimental models to further our understanding of disease conditions and delineate innovative treatments has found in the zebrafish (Danio rerio) an experimental model, and indeed a valuable asset ...
