Changes in Growth-Associated Protein 43 and Tensor-Based Morphometric Indicators in Mild Cognitive Impairment Research Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a globally prevalent neurodegenerative disease whose incidence is expected to increase significantly in the coming years (Esquerda-Canals et al., 2017). The disease primarily manifests as defe...

Background Introduction In this paper, the researchers discuss the impact of aging on the functionality of all cell types in the central nervous system (CNS) and its role in neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying these age-related changes and their contribution to diseases remain poorly u...

Research Report Titled “Comprehensive Evaluation of TDP-43 Neuropathology Data in the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center Database” Research Background TDP-43 proteinopathy is a significant neuropathological feature in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-TDP), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS-TDP), and age-related limbic TDP-43 encephalo...

Study Report on Abnormal CHCHD2-Related Mitochondrial Pathology in Astrocytes in Kii ALS/PDC I. Research Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/Parkinsonism-dementia complex (ALS/PDC) is a rare and complex neurodegenerative disorder primarily observed in Western Pacific islands such as Japan, Guam, and Papua New Guinea. Patients with this disease...

Research Background Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a common disease involving lesions in the central nervous system, characterized mainly by demyelination of neuronal axons and neuronal damage. The heterogeneity of the disease is extremely high, meaning that different patients exhibit varying symptoms and pathological mechanisms, which greatly complica...
