Journal ArticleDOI
The cause of neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer's disease.
James C. Vickers,Tracey C. Dickson,Paul A. Adlard,Helen L. Saunders,Carolyn E. King,Graeme H. McCormack +5 more
TL;DR: Therapeutically, inhibition of the neuronal reaction to physical trauma may be a useful neuroprotective strategy in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The morphological phenotype of β-amyloid plaques and associated neuritic changes in Alzheimer’s disease
TL;DR: All morphologically defined beta-amyloid plaque variants were present in both early and late stages of Alzheimer's disease, and progression to clinical dementia was associated with both a shift to a higher proportion of fibrillar plaques that induced local neuritic alterations and a transformation of cytoskeletal proteins within associated abnormal neuronal processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Focal demyelination in Alzheimer’s disease and transgenic mouse models
Stanislaw Mitew,Matthew T. K. Kirkcaldie,Glenda M. Halliday,Claire E. Shepherd,James C. Vickers,Tracey C. Dickson +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that plaque-associated focal demyelination of the cortical grey matter might impair cortical processing, and may also be associated with aberrant axonal sprouting that underlies dystrophic neurite formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional binding interaction identified between the axonal CAM L1 and members of the ERM family
TL;DR: It is indicated that L1 binds directly to members of the ERM family and suggest this association may coordinate aspects of axonal morphogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neurochemical diversity of dystrophic neurites in the early and late stages of Alzheimer's disease.
TL;DR: Data indicate that dystrophic neurites may "mature" through neurofilament-abundant forms to the neurites containing the profoundly altered filaments labeled for tau, and suggest that beta-amyloid plaques are causing physical damage to surrounding axons.
