A survey and a molecular dynamics study on the (central) hydrophobic region of prion proteins [PDF]

Curr Pharm Biotechnol 2014 Nov;15(11) pp:1026-1048, 2014
Prion diseases are invariably fatal neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans and animals. Unlike most other amyloid forming neurodegenerative diseases, these can be highly infectious. Prion diseases occur in a variety of species. They include the fatal human neurodegenerative diseases Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), Fatal Familial Insomnia (FFI),

Disease Knowledge Transfer across Neurodegenerative Diseases [PDF]

Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention 2019, 2019
We introduce Disease Knowledge Transfer (DKT), a novel technique for transferring biomarker information between related neurodegenerative diseases. DKT infers robust multimodal biomarker trajectories in rare neurodegenerative diseases even when only limited, unimodal data is available, by transferring information from larger multimodal datasets from ...

A multi-omics dataset for the analysis of frontotemporal dementia genetic subtypes

Scientific Data, 2023
Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is essential for the development of successful therapies. Systematic studies on human post-mortem brain tissue of patients with genetic subtypes of FTD are currently lacking.

Transient exposure to rotenone causes degeneration and progressive parkinsonian motor deficits, neuroinflammation, and synucleinopathy

npj Parkinson's Disease, 2023
Individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD) typically receive a diagnosis once they have developed motor symptoms, at which point there is already significant loss of substantia nigra dopamine neurons, α-synuclein accumulation in surviving neurons, and ...

Serum IL-6, sAXL, and YKL-40 as systemic correlates of reduced brain structure and function in Alzheimer’s disease: results from the DELCODE study

Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2023
Background Neuroinflammation constitutes a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Still, it remains unresolved if peripheral inflammatory markers can be utilized for research purposes similar to blood-based beta-amyloid and neurodegeneration ...

Reactivated endogenous retroviruses promote protein aggregate spreading

Nature Communications, 2023
Prion-like spreading of protein misfolding is a characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases, but the exact mechanisms of intercellular protein aggregate dissemination remain unresolved.

Hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]

, 2023
Decades of research have identified genetic factors and biochemical pathways involved in neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs). We present evidence for the following eight hallmarks of NDD: pathological protein aggregation, synaptic and neuronal network ...

Prominent microglial inclusions in transgenic mouse models of α-synucleinopathy that are distinct from neuronal lesions

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2020
Alpha-synucleinopathies are a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders, characterized by intracellular deposits of aggregated α-synuclein (αS). The clinical heterogeneity of these diseases is thought to be attributed to conformers (or strains) of
