    Serum IL-6, sAXL, and YKL-40 as systemic correlates of reduced brain structure and function in Alzheimer’s disease: results from the DELCODE study

    Neuroinflammation constitutes a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Still, it remains unresolved if peripheral inflammatory markers can be utilized for research purposes similar to blood-based b...

    Medin co-aggregates with vascular amyloid-β in Alzheimer’s disease

    Aggregates of medin amyloid (a fragment of the protein MFG-E8, also known as lactadherin) are found in the vasculature of almost all humans over 50 years of age1,2, making it the most common amyloid currently kno...

    Experimental evidence for temporal uncoupling of brain Aβ deposition and neurodegenerative sequelae

    Brain Aβ deposition is a key early event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer´s disease (AD), but the long presymptomatic phase and poor correlation between Aβ deposition and clinical symptoms remain puzzling. To ...

    Cerebrospinal fluid cytokine levels are associated with macrophage infiltration into tumor tissues of glioma patients

    Diffuse gliomas are the most common malignant tumors of the central nervous system with poor treatment efficacy. Infiltration of immune cells into tumors during immunosurveillance is observed in multiple tumor...

    Microglial inclusions and neurofilament light chain release follow neuronal α-synuclein lesions in long-term brain slice cultures

    Proteopathic brain lesions are a hallmark of many age-related neurodegenerative diseases including synucleinopathies and develop at least a decade before the onset of clinical symptoms. Thus, understanding of ...

    A neuronal blood marker is associated with mortality in old age

    Neurofilament light chain (NfL) has emerged as a promising blood biomarker for the progression of various neurological diseases. NfL is a structural protein of nerve cells, and elevated NfL levels in blood are...

    Innate immune memory in the brain shapes neurological disease hallmarks

    Innate immune memory is a vital mechanism of myeloid cell plasticity that occurs in response to environmental stimuli and alters subsequent immune responses. Two types of immunological imprinting can be distin...
