TALKING TIME: A pilot randomized controlled trial investigating social support for informal caregivers via the telephone

open access: yesBMC Health Services Research, 2020
Background Caring for people with dementia at home requires considerable time, organization and commitment. Therefore, informal caregivers of people with dementia are often overburdened. This study examined the effects of the telephone-based Talking Time

Caudo‐rostral brain spreading of α‐synuclein through vagal connections

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2013
α‐Synuclein accumulation and pathology in Parkinson's disease typically display a caudo‐rostral pattern of progression, involving neuronal nuclei in the medulla oblongata at the earliest stages.

Glucocerebrosidase is imported into mitochondria and preserves complex I integrity and energy metabolism

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
GBA1 mutations cause Gaucher’s disease and are the strongest risk factor for Parkinson’s disease. Using stable cell lines and patient iPSCs, the authors show mitochondrial localization of GBA1, which may affect neurodegenerative disease risk.

Inflammasomes in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration often result from the aberrant deposition of aggregated host proteins, including amyloid-beta, alpha-synuclein, and prions, that can activate inflammasomes.

Exploring the ATN classification system using brain morphology

open access: yesAlzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2023
Background The NIA-AA proposed amyloid-tau-neurodegeneration (ATN) as a classification system for AD biomarkers. The amyloid cascade hypothesis (ACH) implies a sequence across ATN groups that patients might undergo during transition from healthy towards ...

Neurodegenerative Diseases and Autophagy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Most neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the accumulation of aggregated proteins within neurons. These aggregate-prone proteins cause toxicity, a phenomenon that is further exacerbated when there is defective protein clearance.

Mitochondrial dynamics–fusion, fission, movement, and mitophagy–in neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Neurons are metabolically active cells with high energy demands at locations distant from the cell body. As a result, these cells are particularly dependent on mitochondrial function, as reflected by the observation that diseases of mitochondrial ...

Improving 3D convolutional neural network comprehensibility via interactive visualization of relevance maps: evaluation in Alzheimer’s disease

open access: yesAlzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2021
Background Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) achieve high diagnostic accuracy for detecting Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, they are not yet applied in clinical routine.

FRET-based Tau seeding assay does not represent prion-like templated assembly of Tau filaments

open access: yesMolecular Neurodegeneration, 2020
Tau aggregation into amyloid fibers based on the cross-beta structure is a hallmark of several Tauopathies, including Alzheimer Disease (AD). Trans-cellular propagation of Tau with pathological conformation has been suggested as a key disease mechanism ...

Biomedical Informatics Applications for Precision Management of Neurodegenerative Diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Modern medicine is in the midst of a revolution driven by “big data,” rapidly advancing computing power, and broader integration of technology into healthcare. Highly detailed and individualized profiles of both health and disease states are now possible,
