Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and Alzheimer disease (AD) are both highly prevalent diseases worldwide, and each is associated with high-morbidity and high-mortality. Numerous clinical studies have consistently shown that T2D confers a two-fold increased risk for a dementia, including dementia attributable to AD. Yet, the mechanisms underlying this relation...

In summary, the present study reports for the first time that age is not a major risk factor for multiple neuronal pathologies in FTLD. These findings have significant implications for the development of protein-specific biomarkers and treatments for FTLD, and underscore the need for further research to identify the disease factors involved in driv...

P364S MAPT mutation is characterized clinically by a variable combination of frontotemporal dementia, parkinsonism and motor neuron disease of short duration, and neuropathologically by a widespread uniform distribution of all known neuronal tau inclusions in one family member. Two-compartment CNTI is a unique characteristic of the P364S MAPT mutat...

While the combined FoxG1/Olig-2 profile may discriminate H3F3A K27- and G34-mutant tumours and define a prognostically favourable subset in IDH-mutant gliomas, our data show that labelling indices of these transcription factors overlap with adult IDH-mutant and wild-type tumour classes.

T2/T2*w hypointensity observed in vivo in the basal ganglia of WD patients is related to iron rather than copper deposits.

The aetiology of CMI differs depending on brain location. CAA may play a role principally in the occipital cortex. The large number of intact vessels around the CMI (mainly in the frontal cortex and hippocampus) raises the possibility that pathologies other than structural microangiopathy, including hypoperfusion/arterial hypotension or large vesse...

Global proteomic profiling of brain leptomeningeal arteries revealed that clusterin and TIMP3 increase in leptomeningeal arteries affected by CAA. We propose that clusterin and TIMP3 could facilitate perivascular clearance and may serve as novel candidate therapeutic targets for CAA.

Dock1 modulation by miR-31 plays an important function in glioma invasion both in vitro and in vivo. This study provides new insights into the invasion of glioma cells and might therefore contribute to the development of new antiglioma strategies.

This is the first study to show reduction in pE3-Aβ plaque size. pE3-Aβ plaques have gained attention as potential key participants in AD due to their increased aggregation propensity, the possibility for the initial seeding event, resistance against degradation and neurotoxicity. These findings support the hypothesis that MSC-transplants may affec...
