Journal ArticleDOI
Ubiquitin-negative, eosinophilic neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions associated with stress granules and autophagy: an immunohistochemical investigation of two cases.
Fumiaki Mori,Yuka Watanabe,Yasuo Miki,Kunikazu Tanji,Saori Odagiri,Komyo Eto,Koichi Wakabayashi +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that eosinophilic NCIs in the present two cases may represent the process of autophagic clearance of stress granules, considering that eukaryotic Stress granules are cleared by autophagy and valosin‐containing protein function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atypical globular glial tauopathy with a combination of types I and II pathology.

TL;DR: An autopsy case of GGT is reported in an 85‐year‐old woman who presented with semantic dementia, a rare phenotype in GGT, and the findings appear to extend the pathological heterogeneity of G GT.
Journal ArticleDOI
An autopsy case of refractory epilepsy due to unilateral polymicrogyria in a 65-year-old man: Histogenesis of four-layered polymicrogyric cortex.
TL;DR: A 65‐year‐old man with refractory epilepsy, in whom postmortem examination revealed four‐layered PMG in the left hemisphere, is reported, which suggests that the myelinated band in PMG cortex is likely to represent abnormality of axonal growth or myelination after migration has terminated and that the immunohistochemical characteristics of astrocytes in theMyelinatedBand inPMG cortex are similar to those of the subcortical white matter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel tankyrase inhibitors suppress TDP-43 aggregate formation.
Kunikazu Tanji,Fumiaki Mori,Fumiyuki Shirai,Takehiro Fukami,Hiroyuki Seimiya,Jun Utsumi,Akiyoshi Kakita,Koichi Wakabayashi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effects of tankyrase inhibitors on the formation of TDP-43 aggregates in cultured cells and found that the inhibition of tankryase activity protects against toxicity.
