Distinct Patterns of Plaque and Microglia Glycosylation in Alzheimer’s Disease

Distinct Patterns of Plaque and Microglia Glycosylation in Alzheimer’s Disease

Unique Patterns of Glycosylation in Plaques and Microglia in Alzheimer’s Disease Research Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and a devastating neurodegenerative disorder. AD is characterized by two pathological features: extracellular β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and intracellular phosphorylated Tau neurofibrillary ta...

Signal Peptide Peptidase-Like 2B Modulates the Amyloidogenic Pathway and Exhibits an Aβ-Dependent Expression in Alzheimer’s Disease

New Findings in Alzheimer’s Disease Research: The Regulatory Role of Signal Peptide Peptidase-Like 2b in the β-Amyloid Cascade Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of β-amyloid peptides (Aβ) in brain tissue and the formation of intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. The abnormal...

Targeting TGFβ-activated kinase-1 activation in microglia reduces CAR T immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome

In this study, researchers explored the role of the TAK1 activation pathway in CAR T cell therapy-associated immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). They established a mouse ICANS model and found that following the transfer of CAR19 T cells, cerebellar cells were activated, underwent morphological changes, and expressed more...

Identification of senescent, TREM2-expressing microglia in aging and Alzheimer's disease model mouse brain

Identification of senescent, TREM2-expressing microglia in aging and Alzheimer's disease model mouse brain

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related chronic neurodegenerative disorder, whose pathological mechanism involves multiple factors, including brain inflammation. Microglia, particularly those expressing the AD risk gene TREM2, are believed to play a crucial role in the development of AD, but their exact contribution has not been fully elucidated...
