Highly efficient intercellular spreading of protein misfolding mediated by viral ligand-receptor interactions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Pathologic protein aggregates associated with neurodegenerative diseases have the ability to transmit to unaffected cells via extracellular vesicles or direct cell-to-cell contact. Here, Liu et al.

Filter Retardation Assay for Detecting and Quantifying Polyglutamine Aggregates Using Caenorhabditis elegans Lysates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Protein aggregation is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases and is associated with impaired protein homeostasis. This imbalance is caused by the loss of the protein's native conformation, which ultimately results in its aggregation or ...

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

The economic burden of subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's dementia: excess costs and associated clinical and risk factors

open access: yesAlzheimer’s Research & Therapy
Background With the availability of first disease-modifying treatments, evidence on costs across the entire Alzheimer's Continuum, especially for early disease stages, becomes increasingly important to inform healthcare planning, resource allocation, and

A novel CHCHD10 mutation implicates a Mia40‐dependent mitochondrial import deficit in ALS

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2018
CHCHD10 mutations are linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but their mode of action is unclear. In a 29‐year‐old patient with rapid disease progression, we discovered a novel mutation (Q108P) in a conserved residue within the coiled‐coil‐helix‐coiled‐

Imaging Studies of Aging, Neurodegenerative Disease, and Alcoholism. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers disease, disorders such as alcoholism, and the aging process can lead to impaired cognitive function and dementia.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Age-related cognitive effects of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and associated mental health changes in Germans

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Restrictive means to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic have not only imposed broad challenges on mental health but might also affect cognitive health.

Aging-Associated Changes in Cognition, Expression and Epigenetic Regulation of Chondroitin 6-Sulfotransferase Chst3

open access: yesCells, 2022
Understanding changes in the expression of genes involved in regulating various components of the neural extracellular matrix (ECM) during aging can provide an insight into aging-associated decline in synaptic and cognitive functions.

Protein Aggregates and Polyglutamine Tracts In Neurodegenerative Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The incidence of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer\u27s Disease, Parkinson\u27s Disease, Huntington\u27s Disease and other Polyglutamine Diseases is projected to dramatically increase throughout the developed world, and yet the pathology of ...
