The immunology of neurodegeneration [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Investigation, 2012
While immune responses in neurodegeneration were regarded as little more than a curiosity a decade ago, they are now increasingly moving toward center stage. Factors driving this movement include the recognition that most of the relevant immune molecules are produced within the brain, that microglia are proficient immune cells shaping neuronal ...

Targeting PERK signaling with the small molecule GSK2606414 prevents neurodegeneration in a model of Parkinson's disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, leading to the progressive decline of motor control due to the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc).

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Induced Expression of kir6.2 in A1 Astrocytes Propagates Inflammatory Neurodegeneration via Drp1-dependent Mitochondrial Fission

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Glia-mediated inflammatory processes are crucial in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). As the most abundant cells of the brain and active participants in neuroinflammatory responses, astrocytes largely propagate inflammatory signals and ...

Neurodegeneration: New Road Leads Back to the Synapse

open access: yes, 2012
Much of Parkinson’s research over the last decade has focused on cellular stress as a candidate mechanism. In this issue of Neuron, a new study by Matta et al.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Chemogenetic Modulation of Astrocytic Activity Rescues Hippocampus Associated Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s Disease Mice Model 5xFAD

open access: yesNeural Plasticity
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder characterized by Aβ-amyloid accumulation and cognitive decline. Despite extensive research, effective treatments remain elusive.

Mossy cell hypertrophy and synaptic changes in the hilus following mild diffuse traumatic brain injury in pigs

open access: yesJournal of Neuroinflammation, 2020
Background Each year in the USA, over 2.4 million people experience mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), which can induce long-term neurological deficits.

Chaperones in Neurodegeneration [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2015
Cellular protein homeostasis (proteostasis) maintains the integrity of the proteome and includes protein synthesis, folding, oligomerization, and turnover; chaperone proteins assist with all of these processes. Neurons appear to be especially susceptible to failures in proteostasis, and this is now increasingly recognized as a major origin of ...
