These observations open the door to more in-depth investigations looking into a potential mechanistic link between TMEM106b aggregation and pathological processes in neurodegeneration,” Rothstein ...

To Jubao Duan of the University of Chicago, the authors provide compelling evidence. That tau dysregulation derails lipid ...

Lecanemab Favors Early Aggregates. Fluorescently labeled lecanemab (green) bound most strongly to soluble Aβ aggregates ...

The microglia, in turn, seem to benefit, revving up metabolism and phagocytosis. The liver protein ApoA-I was particularly good at bolstering the latter. Overall, the findings suggest that the brain’s ...

Maturing Plaques. The oldest plaques (left) contain β-sheets (red) and dense fibrillar cores (blue), while younger plaques (middle) lack dense cores, and the youngest (right) lack either. [Courtesy of ...

Lipids Open the Door. Microglial cells treated with unlipidated (top) or lipidated (bottom) ApoE (yellow) along with fluorescently tagged Aβ (green). Lipidated ApoE was more readily internalized and ...

These tau knockout rats were created through transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN)-mediated targeting of exon 2 of the rat Mapt gene (Ayers, Lopez et al., 2024). Tau protein was ...

Tg12099 rats overexpress the 0N4R isoform of human tau with the P301S mutation linked to frontotemporal dementia. The MAPT transgene is driven by the rat Prnp promoter. Overexpress the 0N4R isoform of ...
