Mitochondrial NADK2‐dependent NADPH controls tau oligomer uptake in human neurons
Abstract INTRODUCTION Reduced brain energy metabolism, mitochondria dysfunction, and extracellular tau oligomer buildup characterize Alzheimer's disease (AD), but how these phenomena cooperatively promote neurodegeneration is poorly understood. We now report that tau oligomers (TauOs) pathologically coordinate mitochondrial metabolism with increased ...

Diseases of “Prions” - Therapeutic Approaches (2021)
Θέλω να αναφέρει κάποιος άλλος την εργασία μου.Οι ασθένειες prion ή μεταδοτικές σπογγώδεις εγκεφαλοπάθειες είναι μια ομάδα σπάνιων νευροεκφυλιστικών παθήσεων που είναι θανατηφόρες και προκαλούνται από μια ανώμαλη μορφή της κυτταρικής πρωτεΐνης prion λόγω

ABSTRACT Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD), are characterized by the pathological aggregation of specific proteins such as amyloid beta (Aβ) and α‐synuclein, respectively. Early detection of these protein aggregates in biological fluids could facilitate timely diagnosis and therapeutic ...

Abstract As our understanding of genetic risk and the availability of genetic testing increases, consideration of the psychological impact of living at risk for an autosomal dominant neurological condition (ADNC) becomes more pertinent. A systematic search of PsycINFO, MEDLINE, and Web of Science was run to identify studies exploring the psychological ...

Characterization of the prion protein in relation to normal cellular function and in disease [PDF]
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), also known as prion diseases, are a group of rare and fatal neurodegenerative disorders that can affect both human and animals. Evidence indicates that the key event in prion disease pathogenesis is the conformational conversion of the normal cellular prion protein (PrPC) into an aggregated isoform ...

This study reveals that 5‐hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) synapses in the spinal cord and 5‐HT neurons in the brainstem of the SOD1‐G93A amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) mouse model are significantly altered, showing a decrease in pre‐symptomatic stages but a marked increase as the disease progresses.

Progress of Immunotherapies in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is caused by an immune disorder triggered by α‐synuclein, leading to a persistent neuroinflammatory cycle that drives the disease from non‐motor symptoms to the motor stage. Second, it presents active and passive immunotherapy strategies targeting α‐synuclein and their potential in slowing down the disease progression.
