Mild traumatic brain injury induces apoptotic cell death in the cortex that is preceded by decreases in cellular Bcl-2 immunoreactivity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that apoptosis contributes to cell death in both gray and white matter, and that decreases in cellular Bcl-2 may, in part, be associated with both apoptotic and non-apoptotic cell death following mild brain trauma.
Journal ArticleDOI

α-Syn Suppression Reverses Synaptic and Memory Defects in a Mouse Model of Dementia with Lewy Bodies

TL;DR: It is found that the distribution ofα-syn pathology in an inducible α-syn transgenic mouse model recapitulates that in human DLB, and when α- synuclein expression was suppressed, partial clearing of pre-existing α-Syn pathology and reversal of structural synaptic defects were observed, resulting in an improvement in memory function.

TMEM106B is a genetic modifier of frontotemporal lobar degeneration with C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansions

Michael D. Gallagher, +87 more
TL;DR: The genotype that confers increased risk for developing FTLD-TDP (major, or T, allele of rs1990622) is associated with later age at onset and death in C9orf72 expansion carriers, providing an example of sign epistasis in human neurodegenerative disease.
