Amyloid‐β Seeds in Alzheimer's Disease: Research Challenges and Implications
The amyloid cascade hypothesis places amyloid‐β (Aβ) at the center of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Evidence suggests that AD progresses in two phases: an early phase driven by Aβ aggregation and a later phase that progresses at least partly independently of Aβ.

Celebrating neuropathology's contributions to Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers
Abstract Our understanding of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD) has grown exponentially, thanks to significant investments by the National Institute on Aging (NIA). This article celebrates the 40th anniversary of the NIA's Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers, highlighting the pivotal role of neuropathology as the bedrock for ...

Updated clinical diagnostic criteria for sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
Several molecular subtypes of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease have been identified and electroencephalogram and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers have been reported to support clinical diagnosis but with variable utility according to subtype.

Evolution of Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging Signal Abnormality in Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, With Histopathological Correlation [PDF]
IMPORTANCE: Prion diseases represent the archetype of brain diseases caused by protein misfolding, with the most common subtype being sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), a rapidly progressive dementia.

Chameleonic Nature of Aβ: Implications for Alzheimer's and Other Amyloid Diseases
The energy landscape of Aβ reveals its flexible, “chameleon‐like” behavior, enabling diverse structures from disordered to β‐rich forms. This polymorphism facilitates aggregation, contributing to Alzheimer's disease progression, while the flat landscape also allows disaggregation, potentially slowing disease progression compared to prion proteins with ...

Transmission of CJD from nasal brushings but not spinal fluid or RT‐QuIC product
Objective The detection of prion seeding activity in CSF and olfactory mucosal brushings using real‐time quaking‐induced conversion assays allows highly accurate clinical diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.

Increase of Plasma Biomarkers in Friedreich's Ataxia: Potential Insights into Disease Pathology
Abstract Background Therapeutic interventions in Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) are progressing into clinical trials, and the need for robust and easily accessible biomarkers has arisen. Objective This study aimed to consolidate preliminary findings of changes in the levels of neurofilament light (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), Tau, and ...
