An Update on Blood-Based Markers of Alzheimer’s Disease Using the SiMoA Platform
The development of blood-based biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology as tools for screening the general population, and as the first step in a multistep process to determine which non-demented individuals are at greatest risk of developing AD ...

DnaJC7 specifically regulates tau seeding
Neurodegenerative tauopathies are caused by accumulation of toxic tau protein assemblies. This appears to involve template-based seeding events, whereby tau monomer changes conformation and is recruited to a growing aggregate.

Phosphorylated tau interactome in the human Alzheimer’s disease brain
Accumulation of phosphorylated tau (pTau) is a key pathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). pTau accumulation causes synaptic impairment, neuronal dysfunction and formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs).

Transgenic Zebrafish as a Novel Animal Model to Study Tauopathies and Other Neurodegenerative Disorders in vivo [PDF]
Our ageing society is confronted with a dramatic increase in patients suffering from tauopathies such as Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia and others.

Differences Between Human and Murine Tau at the N-terminal End
Human tauopathies, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), have been widely studied in transgenic mice overexpressing human tau in the brain. The longest brain isoforms of Tau in mice and humans show 89% amino acid identity; however, the expression of the ...

MAPping out distribution routes for kinesin couriers [PDF]
In the crowded environment of eukaryotic cells, diffusion is an inefficient distribution mechanism for cellular components. Long-distance active transport is required and is performed by molecular motors including kinesins.

Revisiting protein aggregation as pathogenic in sporadic Parkinson and Alzheimer diseases. [PDF]
The gold standard for a definitive diagnosis of Parkinson disease (PD) is the pathologic finding of aggregated α-synuclein into Lewy bodies and for Alzheimer disease (AD) aggregated amyloid into plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau into tangles.

Differential effects of an O-GlcNAcase inhibitor on tau phosphorylation. [PDF]
Abnormal hyperphosphorylation of microtubule-associated protein tau plays a crucial role in neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aggregation of hyperphosphorylated tau into neurofibrillary tangles is also a hallmark brain lesion of AD.

SUMO1 modification of 0N4R-tau is regulated by PIASx, SENP1, SENP2, and TRIM11
Tau is a microtubule-associated protein that contributes to cytoskeletal stabilization. Aggregation of tau proteins is associated with neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
