Electrochemical modulation of tau protein phosphorylation levels with biomimetic polyaniline membranes

Sensing and Bio-Sensing Research
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is hallmarked by the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau proteins, which disrupt microtubule stability and significantly contribute to neurodegeneration and cognitive decline.

Intranasal rapamycin ameliorates Alzheimer-like cognitive decline in a mouse model of Down syndrome [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Down syndrome (DS) individuals, by the age of 40s, are at increased risk to develop Alzheimer-like dementia, with deposition in brain of senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.

Biodegradable and Recyclable Luminescent Mixed‐Matrix‐Membranes, Hydrogels, and Cryogels based on Nanoscale Metal‐Organic Frameworks and Biopolymers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...

The Role of Tau in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Its Potential as a Therapeutic Target

Scientifica, 2012
The abnormal deposition of proteins in and around neurons is a common pathological feature of many neurodegenerative diseases. Among these pathological proteins, the microtubule-associated protein tau forms intraneuronal filaments in a spectrum of ...

Protein Aggregates and Polyglutamine Tracts In Neurodegenerative Disease [PDF]

, 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 ...

A Novel Genetic Screen Identifies Modifiers of Age-Dependent Amyloid β Toxicity in the Drosophila Brain [PDF]

, 2017
The accumulation of amyloid β peptide (Aβ) in the brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients begins many years before clinical onset. Such process has been proposed to be pathogenic through the toxicity of Aβ soluble oligomers leading to synaptic ...

Region‐to‐Region Unidirectional Connection In Vitro Brain Model for Studying Directional Propagation of Neuropathologies

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A unidirectional cerebral organoid–organoid neural circuit is established using a microfluidic platform, enabling controlled directional propagation of electrical signals, neuroinflammatory cues, and neurodegenerative disease–related proteins between spatially separated organoids.

Sensitivity analysis of a mathematical model of Alzheimer's disease progression unveils important causal pathways

Frontiers in Neuroinformatics
IntroductionMathematical models serve as essential tools to investigate brain aging, the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its progression. By studying the representation of the complex dynamics of brain aging processes, such as amyloid beta (Aβ ...

Tubulins in C. elegans [PDF]

, 2018
The C. elegans tubulin family is composed of nine α-, six β-, and one γ-tubulin. Tubulins are highly conserved, functioning as α-β heterodimers that assemble into microtubules.
