TDP-43 is a component of ubiquitin-positive tau-negative inclusions in frontotemporal lobar degeneration and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

TLDR
The common occurrence of intracellular accumulations of TDP-43 supports the hypothesis that these disorders represent a clinicopathological entity of a single disease, and suggests that they can be newly classified as a proteinopathy of T DP-43.

Correlation of Alzheimer Disease Neuropathologic Changes With Cognitive Status: A Review of the Literature

TL;DR: Evidence from many independent research centers strongly supports the existence of a specific disease, as defined by the presence of A&bgr; plaques and neurofibrillary tangles.

TARDBP mutations in individuals with sporadic and familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

TL;DR: Findings further corroborate that TDP-43 is involved in ALS pathogenesis and reports eight missense mutations in nine individuals—six from individuals with sporadic ALS and three from those with familial ALS (FALS)—and a concurring increase of a smaller T DP-43 product.

Converging mechanisms in ALS and FTD: disrupted RNA and protein homeostasis.

TL;DR: It is presented the case here that these two processes are intimately linked, with disease-initiated perturbation of either leading to further deviation of both protein and RNA homeostasis through a feedforward loop including cell-to-cell prion-like spread that may represent the mechanism for relentless disease progression.

|[alpha]|-Synuclein is phosphorylated in synucleinopathy lesions

TL;DR: It is shown by mass spectrometry analysis and studies with an antibody that specifically recognizes phospho-Ser 129 of α-synuclein, that this residue is selectively and extensively phosphorylated in synucleinopathy lesions and promoted fibril formation in vitro.

Clinical and Pathological Diagnosis of Frontotemporal Dementia: Report of the Work Group on Frontotemporal Dementia and Pick's Disease

TL;DR: The goal of this meeting was to propose guidelines that would enable clinicians to recognize patients with FTD and, if appropriate, expedite their referral to a diagnostic center.

Null mutations in progranulin cause ubiquitin-positive frontotemporal dementia linked to chromosome 17q21

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that FTDU-17 is caused by mutations in the gene coding for progranulin (PGRN), a growth factor involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes including tumorigenesis, and evidence that P GRN haploinsufficiency leads to neurodegeneration because of reduced PGRN-mediated neuronal survival is provided.

Inclusion body myopathy associated with Paget disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia is caused by mutant valosin-containing protein.

TL;DR: Identification of VCP as causing IBMPFD has important implications for other inclusion-body diseases, including myopathies, dementias and Paget disease of bone (PDB), as it may define a new common pathological ubiquitin-based pathway.
