To target Tau pathologies, we must embrace and reconstruct their complexities

The accumulation of hyperphosphorylated fibrillar Tau aggregates in the brain is one of the defining hallmarks of Tauopathy diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. However, the primary events or molecules responsible for initiation of the pathological Tau ...

Structural strains of misfolded tau protein define different diseases

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

In diseases called tauopathies, misfolded tau proteins form aggregates called fibrils. Fibrils from nine different tauopathies show that tau misfolds in many ways, enabling the diseases to be classified according to fibril structure. ...

Cortical Surfaces Integration with Tractography for Structural Connectivity Analysis

Gabriel Girard, Maxime Descoteaux

Background: Mapping diffusion MRI tractography streamlines to the cortical surface facilitates the integration of white matter features onto gray matter, especially for connectivity analysis. ...

Elezanumab, a human anti-RGMa monoclonal antibody, promotes neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, and neurorecovery following a thoracic hemicompression spinal cord injury in non-human primates

Grégoire Courtine, Quentin Barraud, Lili Huang, Xiaomeng Zhang

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition characterized by loss of function, secondary to damaged spinal neurons, disrupted axonal connections, and myelin loss. Spontaneous recovery is limited, and there are no approved pharmaceutical treatments ...

Hierarchical Microstructure Informed Tractography

Alessandro Daducci, Gabriel Girard, Maxime Descoteaux

Background: Tractography uses diffusion magnetic resonance imaging to noninvasively infer the macroscopic pathways of white matter fibers and it is the only available technique to probe in vivo the structural connectivity of the brain. However, despite thi ...

Lewy body-associated proteins: Victims, instigators, or innocent bystanders? The case of AIMP2 and alpha-synuclein

Hilal Lashuel, Salvatore Novello

Lewy bodies (LBs), one of the neuropathological defining hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD), are composed of a complex mixture of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) filaments and hundreds of proteins, lipids, and membranous organelles. However, these proteins' role ...

NAD+ boosting reduces age-associated amyloidosis and restores mitochondrial homeostasis in muscle

Johan Auwerx, Hongbo Zhang, Hao Li, Vincenzo Sorrentino, Mario Romani, Changmyung Oh, Tanes Imamura de Lima

Aging is characterized by loss of proteostasis and mitochondrial homeostasis. Here, we provide bioinformatic evidence of dysregulation of mitochondrial and proteostasis pathways in muscle aging and diseases. Moreover, we show accumulation of amyloid-like d ...

Pharmacological characterization of mutant huntingtin aggregate-directed PET imaging tracer candidates

Hilal Lashuel, Anass Chiki

Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the first exon of the huntingtin (HTT) gene coding for the huntingtin (HTT) protein. The misfolding and consequential aggregation of CAG-expanded mutant HTT (mHTT) underpin HD p ...
