Journal ArticleDOI

TDP-43 proteinopathy: the neuropathology underlying major forms of sporadic and familial frontotemporal lobar degeneration and motor neuron disease.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the growing evidence that TDP-43 proteinopathy is the common pathologic substrate linking FTLD and ALS, and it considers the implications for developing better strategies to diagnose and treat these neurodegenerative disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

An R5L τ mutation in a subject with a progressive supranuclear palsy phenotype

TL;DR: Analysis of soluble tau from different brain regions indicates that the mutation does not affect the ratio of tau isoforms synthesized, and the R5L mutation causes a progressive supranuclear palsy phenotype, presumably by a gain‐of‐function mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dysregulation of the epigenetic landscape of normal aging in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: By comparing the genome-wide profile of H4K16ac in AD with younger and elder controls, the authors propose a mechanism for how age is a risk factor for AD: a histone modification, whose accumulation is associated with aging, is dysregulated in AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Guidelines for the standardization of preanalytic variables for blood-based biomarker studies in Alzheimer's disease research

TL;DR: The lack of readily available biomarkers is a significant hindrance toward progress to effective therapeutic and preventative strategies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) as discussed by the authors, and the current international working group provides the initial starting point for such guidelines for standardized operating procedures.
