Abstract INTRODUCTION Microglia have been implicated in the templated spread of tau aggregates in tauopathies through mouse studies. However, it is unclear whether these findings translate to human disease. METHODS We challenged human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)‐derived microglia‐like‐cells (iMGL) with monomeric and fibrillar recombinant tau ...

Detection of prions in skin punch biopsies of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease patients [PDF]
Prion real-time quaking-induced conversion (RT-QuIC) is an ultrasensitive assay detecting pathological aggregates of misfolded prion protein in biospecimens.

Preparation of mouse tissue homogenates for RT-QuIC assay v1
This protocol is designed for a standardized and efficient procedure to homogenize mouse tissue, conducive for RT-QuIC analysis. The process involves treating samples with PBS mixed with Triton-X100, followed by homogenization using a prob-tip sonicator.

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 ...

In vitro amplification of H-type atypical bovine spongiform encephalopathy by protein misfolding cyclic amplification [PDF]
The in vitro amplification of prions by serial protein misfolding cyclic amplification has been shown to detect PrPSc to levels at least as sensitive as rodent bioassay but in a fraction of the time.

Towards an improved early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases: The emerging role of in vitro conversion assays for protein amyloids [PDF]
Tissue accumulation of abnormal aggregates of amyloidogenic proteins such as prion protein, α-synuclein, and tau represents the hallmark of most common neurodegenerative disorders and precedes the onset of symptoms by years.

The Brain‐Gut Axis in Parkinson's Disease Pathology
Exposure to environmental toxins induces gut dysbiosis, increases intestinal epithelial barrier permeability, immune activation, and oxidative stress, promoting α‐syn misfolding and propagation. Brainstem DMV neurons exhibit α‐syn pathology, dysregulating neuronal excitability and vagal control of GI functions.

Aggregation studies on the transactive response DNA binding protein of 43 KDA (TDP-43) [PDF]
The pathological deposition of the transactive response DNA-binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) occurs in the majority (\uf07e97%) of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and in around 45% of frontotemporal lobar degeneration cases (FTLD).

Optimizing Ultrasensitive RT‐QuiC assay on AD tau seed‐monomer reactions [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is pathologically defined by the presence of extracellular Aβ plaque and intracellular tau inclusions. Emerging evidence shows that tau aggregates contain pathogenic bioactivities of templating monomeric tau into filamentous fibrils and propagating through cells.

Abstract Oligomeric assemblies of amyloidogenic proteins, such as Aβ, tau, α‐synuclein, amylin, transthyretin, and TDP‐43, are increasingly recognized as key drivers of cellular dysfunction across a range of neurodegenerative and systemic disorders.
