Olfactory decline tracks central‐to‐peripheral spread of tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease
Abstract INTRODUCTION Olfactory decline often precedes cognitive symptoms in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is linked to tau pathology. Yet, whether tau aggregates start in peripheral olfactory structures or spread from central regions remains debated. METHODS We analyzed 34 post mortem human olfactory bulb (OB) and 2 neuroepithelium (ONE) samples across

The Phenotypic Spectrum of Sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob Disease Cortical Subtype
Objective The objective of this study was to characterize the phenotypic spectrum of the rare sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease cortical subtype (sCJDMM/MV2C) in a large multicentric autopsy cohort. Methods We evaluated clinical histories, biofluid markers, brain diffusion‐weighted (DW)‐magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and electroencephalogram (EEG ...

Objective Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an established risk factor for dementia, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our previous research demonstrated that a single severe TBI in wild‐type (WT) mice induces a prion‐like form of tau (tauTBI) that spreads throughout the brain, leading to memory deficits.

Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

TDP43 and hnRNP K Regulate Alternative Splicing of DNAJC5
ABSTRACT Alternative splicing is a finely regulated process which defines the final maturation of pre‐mRNAs. Modulation of trans‐acting spliceosome proteins changes specific patterns of splicing and contributes to the development of diseases. During Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) disease progression, loss of nuclear trans‐acting splicing protein ...
