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

open access: yesActa 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 ...

Neuroimaging standards for research into small vessel disease and its contribution to ageing and neurodegeneration

open access: yesLancet Neurology, 2013
Summary Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is a common accompaniment of ageing. Features seen on neuroimaging include recent small subcortical infarcts, lacunes, white matter hyperintensities, perivascular spaces, microbleeds, and brain atrophy. SVD can

Mitochondria and Neurodegeneration

open access: yesBioscience Reports, 2007
Many lines of evidence suggest that mitochondria have a central role in ageing-related neurodegenerative diseases. However, despite the evidence of morphological, biochemical and molecular abnormalities in mitochondria in various tissues of patients with neurodegenerative disorders, the question “is mitochondrial dysfunction a necessary step in ...

The blood-brain barrier in aging and neurodegeneration

open access: yesMolecular Psychiatry, 2022
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is vital for maintaining brain homeostasis by enabling an exquisite control of exchange of compounds between the blood and the brain parenchyma.

Circadian disruption and sleep disorders in neurodegeneration

open access: yesTranslational Neurodegeneration, 2023
Disruptions of circadian rhythms and sleep cycles are common among neurodegenerative diseases and can occur at multiple levels. Accumulating evidence reveals a bidirectional relationship between disruptions of circadian rhythms and sleep cycles and ...

Microglia Function in the Central Nervous System During Health and Neurodegeneration

open access: yesAnnual Review of Immunology, 2017
Microglia are resident cells of the brain that regulate brain development, maintenance of neuronal networks, and injury repair. Microglia serve as brain macrophages but are distinct from other tissue macrophages owing to their unique homeostatic ...

Intraneuronal β-Amyloid Aggregates, Neurodegeneration, and Neuron Loss in Transgenic Mice with Five Familial Alzheimer's Disease Mutations: Potential Factors in Amyloid Plaque Formation

open access: yesJournal of Neuroscience, 2006
Mutations in the genes for amyloid precursor protein (APP) and presenilins (PS1, PS2) increase production of β-amyloid 42 (Aβ42) and cause familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD).

Glymphatic system clears extracellular tau and protects from tau aggregation and neurodegeneration

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 2022
Tau present in the extracellular fluids has a critical role in the pathogenesis of tauopathies. The authors describe that glymphatic clearance of extracellular tau impacts tau accumulation and neurodegeneration.

Metals and Neurodegeneration [PDF]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2016
Metals play important roles in the human body, maintaining cell structure and regulating gene expression, neurotransmission, and antioxidant response, to name a few. However, excessive metal accumulation in the nervous system may be toxic, inducing oxidative stress, disrupting mitochondrial function, and impairing the activity of numerous enzymes ...

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

open access: yesNature 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.
