Journal ArticleDOI
Autophagy Is a Common Degradation Pathway for Bunina Bodies and TDP-43 Inclusions in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
TL;DR: It is suggested that autophagy is a common degradation pathway for BBs and TDP-43-IR inclusions, which may explain their frequent coexistence.
Journal ArticleDOI
An autopsy case of early-stage amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with TDP-43 immunoreactive neuronal, but not glial, inclusions
Tomoya Kon,Fumiaki Mori,Yoshinobu Oyama,Kunikazu Tanji,Tamaki Kimura,Shirushi Takahashi,Koichi Wakabayashi +6 more
TL;DR: An autopsy case of lower motor neuron‐predominant ALS in a 47‐year‐old Japanese man who committed suicide 5 months after onset is reported, with neuronal loss restricted to the anterior horn of the spinal cord.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple system atrophy and autophagy
TL;DR: Findings suggest that autophagic function is impaired through alteration of Atg8 homologues in LBD and MSA, and autophagy-enhancing strategies can therefore have therapeutic efficacy for various neurodegenerative diseases including LBDand MSA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parkin is expressed in vascular endothelial cells.
Wakako Tamo,Tadaatsu Imaizumi,Kunikazu Tanji,Hidemi Yoshida,Shingo Takanashi,Koichi Wakabayashi,Ryosuke Takahashi,Nobutaka Hattori,Kei Satoh +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that parkin is expressed in VEC, and that unfolded protein stress may not regulate its expression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropathology of Multiple System Atrophy, a Glioneuronal Degenerative Disease.
TL;DR: Vesicle-mediated transport plays a key role in the nuclear translocation of α-synuclein as well as in the formation of glial and neuronal α- Synuclein inclusions in MSA and Lewy body disease.
