Journal ArticleDOI

Synucleins are expressed in the majority of breast and ovarian carcinomas and in preneoplastic lesions of the ovary.

TL;DR: Examination of a panel of breast and ovarian carcinomas for expression of α, β, and γ synucleins found that α synuclein has attracted considerable attention due to its involvement in neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

TMEM106B, the Risk Gene for Frontotemporal Dementia, Is Regulated by the microRNA-132/212 Cluster and Affects Progranulin Pathways

TL;DR: TMEM106B is neuronally expressed in postmortem human brain tissue, and that expression levels are increased in FTLD-TDP brain, and microRNA-132/212 depression as an event which can lead to aberrant overexpression of TMEM 106B, which in turn alters progranulin pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microglia-mediated recovery from ALS-relevant motor neuron degeneration in a mouse model of TDP-43 proteinopathy.

TL;DR: Using an inducible mouse model of sporadic ALS, Spiller et al. show that spinal microgliosis is not a major feature of TDP-43-triggered disease, and microglia mediate T DP-43 clearance and motor recovery, suggesting a neuroprotective role in ALS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tau pathology in a family with dementia and a P301L mutation in tau.

TL;DR: The findings on 2 affected siblings from a family with early-onset dementia, characterized by extensive tau pathology and a Pro to Leu mutation at codon 301 of tau, emphasize the phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity of tAUopathies and highlight intriguing links between FTDP-17 and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Paired helical filament tau (PHFtau) in Niemann-Pick type C disease is similar to PHFtau in Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: It is speculated, that the generation of PHFtau in NPC may induce a cascade of pathological events that contribute to the widespread degeneration of neurons, and that these events may be similar in NPC and AD.
