    Patient-derived frontotemporal lobar degeneration brain extracts induce formation and spreading of TDP-43 pathology in vivo

    The stereotypical distribution of TAR DNA-binding 43 protein (TDP-43) aggregates in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-TDP) suggests that pathological TDP-43 spreads throughout the brain via cell-to-cell ...

    Tau deposition patterns are associated with functional connectivity in primary tauopathies

    Tau pathology is the main driver of neuronal dysfunction in 4-repeat tauopathies, including cortico-basal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy. Tau is assumed to spread prion-like across connected n...

    Leveraging spatial transcriptomics data to recover cell locations in single-cell RNA-seq with CeLEry

    Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has revolutionized our understanding of cellular heterogeneity in health and disease. However, the lack of physical relationships among dissociated cells has limited its ...

    Ultrastructure of human brain tissue vitrified from autopsy revealed by cryo-ET with cryo-plasma FIB milling

    Ultrastructure of human brain tissue has traditionally been examined using electron microscopy (EM) following fixation, staining, and sectioning, which limit resolution and introduce artifacts. Alternatively, ...

    Postmortem imaging reveals patterns of medial temporal lobe vulnerability to tau pathology in Alzheimer’s disease

    Our current understanding of the spread and neurodegenerative effects of tau neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) within the medial temporal lobe (MTL) during the early stages of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is limited ...
