Brain vasculature accumulates tau and is spatially related to tau tangle pathology in Alzheimer's disease

Study of Tau Protein Accumulation in Brain Vasculature in Alzheimer’s Disease Background Introduction Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by neurodegeneration, with primary pathological features including amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). These tangles are composed of tau protein, and these pathological changes are closely relate...

Ferroptosis Inhibitor Improves Outcome After Early and Delayed Treatment in Mild Spinal Cord Injury

Ferroptosis Inhibitors Improve Early and Delayed Treatment Outcomes of Mild Spinal Cord Injury Academic Background Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes significant secondary damage not only in the acute period but also in the chronic period. These injuries are typically triggered by multiple factors, including oxidative stress, inflammatory response, an...

Associations of CSF BACE1 with Amyloid Pathology, Neurodegeneration, and Cognition in Alzheimer’s Disease

Original Title: 《Associations of CSF BACE1 with Amyloid Pathology, Neurodegeneration, and Cognition in Alzheimer’s Disease》 Background and Research Purpose Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia in the elderly, characterized by the accumulation of β-amyloid protein (Aβ) plaques in the brain. Beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) ...

The Influence of APOEε4 on the pTau Interactome in Sporadic Alzheimer's Disease

The Influence of APOEε4 on the pTau Interactome in Sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by extracellular deposition and aggregation of β-amyloid protein (Aβ) forming various types of Aβ deposits and the intracellular accumulation and assembly of abnormally phosphorylated tau p...

Characteristics of the Structural Connectivity in Patients with Brain Injury and Chronic Health Symptoms: A Pilot Study

Study on Structural Connectivity Characteristics in Patients with Brain Injury and Chronic Health Symptoms Academic Background Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the leading causes of post-traumatic death and disability. Even mild to moderate TBIs can result in a complex cluster of symptoms known as “post-concussion syndrome,” which includes he...
