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 ...

Gold nanoparticles as a new tool in amyloid studies

Urszula Beata Cendrowska

The misfolding and self-assembly of proteins into fibrils is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative and systemic diseases. These disease-associated proteins have the propensity to form fibrils with a cross-Î² sheet structure, called amyloids. Amyloids can ...

Anti-Aβ antibodies bound to neuritic plaques enhance microglia activity and mitigate tau pathology

Philippe Colin, Bernard Schneider, Vanessa Laversenne

The brain pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the misfolding and aggregation of both the amyloid beta (Aβ) peptide and hyperphosphorylated forms of the tau protein. Initial Aβ deposition is considered to trigger a sequence of deleteri ...
