The TMEM106B locus and TDP-43 pathology in older persons without FTLD

TL;DR: Common variants in TMEM106B serve as a distinct risk factor for TDP-43 pathology in older persons without frontotemporal lobar degeneration and to explore functional pathways that link the risk variants to the pathology, including a GRN mRNA pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo measurement of plaque burden in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: An MRI method for directly visualizing amyloid‐β (Aβ) plaques in the APP/PS1 transgenic mouse brain in vivo is demonstrated and it is shown that T1ρ relaxation rate increases progressively with Alzheimer's disease (AD)‐related pathology in the tg mouse brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain progranulin expression in GRN-associated frontotemporal lobar degeneration.

TL;DR: It is concluded that GRN mutation carriers have increased levels of mRNA transcript from the normal allele in brain, and proliferation of microglia likely increases progranulin levels in affected regions of the FTLD-TDPbrain, and whether or not these findings underlie the accumulation of TDP-43 pathology in FTLD -TDP linked to GRN mutations remains to be determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

CSF Apo‑E levels associate with cognitive decline and MRI changes

TL;DR: It is speculated that increased CSF Apo-E2 or -E3 levels might represent a protective response to injury in AD and may have neuroprotective effects by decreasing neuronal damage independent of tau and amyloid deposition in addition to its effects onAmyloid clearance.
