Distinct ultrastructural phenotypes of glial and neuronal alpha-synuclein inclusions in multiple system atrophy

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Marta Di Fabrizio, Amanda Jennifer Lewis, Domenic Burger

Multiple System Atrophy is characterized pathologically by the accumulation of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) into glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs). The mechanism underlying the formation of GCIs is not well understood. In this study, correlative light and elec ...

Comprehensive proteomic analysis of JC polyomavirus-infected human astrocytes and their extracellular vesicles

Alexey Sapozhnik

JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is an opportunistic virus that remains in a latent state in the kidneys and lymphoid organs of more than half of the human adult population. In rare cases of severe immune suppression, the virus is able to establish a lytic infectio ...

Digital reconstruction of the mammalian spinal cord: from anatomical reference volume to cell type atlas of the mouse spinal cord

Ihor Kuras

The spinal cord is an elongated nervous structure that together with the brain forms the central nervous system. It relays sensory and motor information between the brain and the body, thus controlling most somatic and autonomic body functions. In recent y ...

Neuronal migration prevents spatial competition in retinal morphogenesis

Martin Weigert

The concomitant occurrence of tissue growth and organization is a hallmark of organismal development(1-3). This often means that proliferating and differentiating cells are found at the same time in a continuously changing tissue environment. How cells ada ...

Brain matters: unveiling the distinct contributions of region, age, and sex to glia diversity and CNS function

Gioele La Manno, Zahra Moslehi

The myelinated white matter tracts of the central nervous system (CNS) are essential for fast transmission of electrical impulses and are often differentially affected in human neurodegenerative diseases across CNS region, age and sex. We hypothesize that ...

Clonal relations in the mouse brain revealed by single-cell and spatial transcriptomics

Gioele La Manno

Ratz et al. present an easy-to-use method to barcode progenitor cells, enabling profiling of cell phenotypes and clonal relations using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, providing an integrated approach for understanding brain architecture. ...

Fractal analysis in the quantification of medical imaging associated with multiple sclerosis pathology

Maria-Alexandra Paun

Backgrounds: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inveterate phlogistic situation characterized by focal and vaguely diffusive de-myelination and neurodegeneration, in the sphere of central nervous system (CNS). The brain's chronic inflammatory reaction includes ...

Neurite Exchange Imaging ((NEXI): A minimal model of diffusion in gray matter with inter-compartment water exchange

Ileana Ozana Jelescu, Alexandre Jean François Marie De Skowronski

Biophysical models of diffusion in white matter have been center-stage over the past two decades and are essentially based on what is now commonly referred to as the "Standard Model" (SM) of non-exchanging anisotropic compartments with Gaussian diffusion. ...

Mind blanking is a distinct mental state linked to a recurrent brain profile of globally positive connectivity during ongoing mentation

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

Mind blanking (MB) is a waking state during which we do not report any mental con-tent. The phenomenology of MB challenges the view of a constantly thinking mind. Here, we comprehensively characterize the MB's neurobehavioral profile with the aim to deline ...

The role of the Nimrod proteins in the Drosophila immune system

Bianca Marie Petrignani

The use of tractable model organisms such as Drosophila melanogaster and the powerful genetic tools they offer has contributed significantly to recent advances in comprehension of innate immunity, notably phagocytosis. To date, several phagocytic transmemb ...

Capturing the heterogeneity of alpha-synuclein pathology in synucleinopathies

Melek Firat Altay

Synucleinopathies such as Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy (MSA) are detrimental neurodegenerative diseases. Alpha-synuclein (aSyn), the main aggregating protein found in the pathological inclusions of these ailmen ...

Apelin-driven endothelial cell migration sustains intestinal progenitor cells and tumor growth

Michele De Palma, Mauro Delorenzi, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Nadine Fournier, Sina Nassiri

Stem and progenitor cells residing in the intestinal crypts drive the majority of colorectal cancers (CRCs), yet vascular contribution to this niche remains largely unexplored. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is a key driver of physiological a ...

A secreted factor NimrodB4 promotes the elimination of apoptotic corpses by phagocytes in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre, Florent François Masson, Samuel Rommelaere, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond, Bianca Marie Petrignani

Programmed cell death plays a fundamental role in development and tissue homeostasis. Professional and non-professional phagocytes achieve the proper recognition, uptake, and degradation of apoptotic cells, a process called efferocytosis. Failure in effero ...

Yes-Associated Protein Is Required for ZO-1-Mediated Tight-Junction Integrity and Cell Migration in E-Cadherin-Restored AGS Gastric Cancer Cells

Hwanseok Jang

Yes-associated protein (YAP) regulates numerous cellular homeostasis processes and malignant transformation. We found that YAP influences ZO-1-mediated cell migration using E-cadherin-restored EC96 cells derived from gastric malignant AGS cells. Ectopic ex ...

A community-based transcriptomics classification and nomenclature of neocortical cell types

Parviz Ghaderi

To understand the function of cortical circuits, it is necessary to catalog their cellular diversity. Past attempts to do so using anatomical, physiological or molecular features of cortical cells have not resulted in a unified taxonomy of neuronal or glia ...
