Journal ArticleDOI

Parkinson's disease and related synucleinopathies are a new class of nervous system amyloidoses.

TL;DR: Dramatic new insights into the role of alpha-synuclein (AS) in the pathobiology of PD have emerged recently, and this has led to the development of transgenic animal models of PD-like AS pathologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phosphorylated Tau as a Candidate Biomarker for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

TL;DR: The CSF ptau:ttau ratio may be a candidate biomarker to provide objective support for the diagnosis of ALS and is related with clinical measures of disease severity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteasome Inhibition Stabilizes Tau Inclusions in Oligodendroglial Cells that Occur after Treatment with Okadaic Acid

TL;DR: It is shown by immunohistochemistry that tau-positive oligodendroglial inclusion bodies also contain the small heat-shock protein (HSP) αB-crystallin but not HSP70, and only hyperphosporylation of tau followed by proteasome inhibition leads to stable fibrillary deposits of tAU similar to those observed in neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tau Proteins Are Abnormally Expressed in Olfactory Epithelium of Alzheimer Patients and Developmentally Regulated in Human Fetal Spinal Cord

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that many of the epitopes present in the dystrophic neurites of AD are expressed early in the developing spinal cord and are later extinguished, including adult tau epitopespresent in the brain.
