Alzheimer's disease as homeostatic responses to age-related myelin breakdown

Reads0

TLDR
This work delineates empirically testable mechanisms of action for genes underlying FAD and LOAD and provides "upstream" treatment targets and reframes key observations such as axonal transport disruptions, formation of axonal swellings/sphenoids and neuritic plaques, and proteinaceous deposits as by-products of homeostatic myelin repair processes.

The connectomics of brain disorders

TL;DR: This work considers how brain-network topology shapes neural responses to damage, highlighting key maladaptive processes and the resources and processes that enable adaptation, and shows how knowledge of network topology allows for predictive models of the spread and functional consequences of brain disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cellular Phase of Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: Evidence supporting a long, complex cellular phase consisting of feedback and feedforward responses of astrocytes, microglia, and vasculature is reviewed.

Intramuscular desferrioxamine in patients with Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: In this paper, a single-blind study was conducted to investigate whether the progression of dementia could be slowed by the trivalent ion chelator, desferrioxamine.
Journal ArticleDOI

White matter characterization with diffusional kurtosis imaging.

TL;DR: A physically meaningful interpretation of DKI metrics in white matter regions consisting of more or less parallel aligned fiber bundles is provided by modeling the tissue as two non-exchanging compartments, the intra-axonal space and extra-AXonal space.

The effect of age on the non-haemin iron in the human brain.

TL;DR: The most extensive and systematic investigations of histologically demonstrable iron in the brain were conducted by SPATZ (1922), which found a fine granular deposit of iron in individual oligodendroglia cells and nerve cells, mainly in the globus pallidus and in the red zone of substantia nigra.

Ubiquitin-dependent sorting into the multivesicular body pathway requires the function of a conserved endosomal protein sorting complex, ESCRT-I.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ubiquitination serves as a signal for sorting into the multivesicular body pathway and proposed that ESCRT-I represents a conserved component of the endosomal sorting machinery that functions in both yeast and mammalian cells to couple ubiquitin modification to protein sorting and receptor downregulation in the MVB pathway.

The metallobiology of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Compounds that interdict metal-ion binding to Abeta dissolve brain deposits in vitro and one such compound, clioquinol, inhibits Abeta deposition in the Tg2576 mouse model for AD and could be useful clinically.

Axonopathy and transport deficits early in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: Reductions in microtubule-dependent transport may stimulate proteolytic processing of β-amyloid precursor protein, resulting in the development of senile plaques and Alzheimer's disease.
