Imaging brain amyloid deposition using grating-based differential phase contrast tomography

Patrick Aebischer, Jean-Charles Bensadoun, Peter Modregger

One of the core pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the brain. Current efforts of medical imaging research aim at visualizing amyloid plaques in living patients in order to evaluate the progression of ...

The Gamma-Secretase-Mediated Proteolytic Processing of APP C-Terminal Fragments as a Therapeutic Target for Alzheimer's Disease

Jemila Houacine

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder which severely impairs cognitive functions by triggering neuronal cell death and synaptic loss, and finally leads the patients to death. Two main histopathological hallmarks can be found ...

Preparation and characterization of toxic Abeta aggregates for structural and functional studies in Alzheimer's disease research

Hilal Lashuel, Mohammad Asad Jan Qureshi

The amyloid cascade hypothesis, supported by strong evidence from genetics, pathology and studies using animal models, implicates amyloid-beta (Abeta) oligomerization and fibrillogenesis as central causative events in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's diseas ...

Nucleation Dependent Polymerization of Amyloid-ß (Aß) as an Important Determinant of Aß Amyloid Formation and Neurotoxicity : Implications for the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease and Design of Therapies

Mohammad Asad Jan Qureshi

Aggregation and fibril formation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aβ peptides, principally comprising of 40 or 42 amino acid residues (Aβ40 and Aβ42), are produced by proteolytic processing of ...

Formation and maintenance of Alzheimer's disease beta-amyloid plaques in the absence of microglia

Tristan Bolmont

In Alzheimer's disease, microglia cluster around beta-amyloid deposits, suggesting that these cells are important for amyloid plaque formation, maintenance and/or clearance. We crossed two distinct APP transgenic mouse strains with CD11b-HSVTK mice, in whi ...

Transmission and spreading of tauopathy in transgenic mouse brain

Tristan Bolmont

Hyperphosphorylated tau makes up the filamentous intracellular inclusions of several neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease(1). In the disease process, neuronal tau inclusions first appear in the transentorhinal cortex from where they se ...
