    Distinct glutaminyl cyclase expression in Edinger–Westphal nucleus, locus coeruleus and nucleus basalis Meynert contributes to pGlu-Aβ pathology in Alzheimer’s disease

    Glutaminyl cyclase (QC) was discovered recently as the enzyme catalyzing the pyroglutamate (pGlu or pE) modification of N-terminally truncated Alzheimer’s disease (AD) Aβ peptides in vivo. This modification co...

    Expression of BRI, the normal precursor of the amyloid protein of familial British dementia, in human brain

    Familial British dementia (FBD) is characterized neuropathologically by deposition of a unique amyloid-forming protein, ABri. It is a fragment of an abnormal form of a precursor protein, BRI. In FBD, BRI is el...

    Familial British dementia: colocalization of furin and ABri amyloid

    Familial British dementia (FBD) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by a point mutation in the stop codon of the BRI gene. This mutation extends the normal precursor protein (PP) of 266 amino acids to the n...

    Distinct isoforms of tau aggregated in neurons and glial cells in brains of patients with Pick's disease, corticobasal degeneration and progressive supranuclear palsy

    We investigated isoform composition of aggregated tau protein in brains with Pick's disease (PiD), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) by immunoblot analysis of sarkosyl-i...

    Pyramidal neuron loss is matched by ghost tangle increase in Guam parkinsonism-dementia hippocampus

    The parkinsonism dementia complex of Guam (bodig disease) is characterized by severe neurofibrillary tangle (NFT) development without the senile plaques which characterize Alzheimer’s disease. Here we analyze...

    Dystrophic neurites are associated with early stage extracellular neurofibrillary tangles in the parkinsonism-dementia complex of Guam

    We found tangle-associated neuritic clusters (TANCs), previously reported as being present in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), to be common in early and mild cases of the parkinsonism-dementia complex of Guam (PDC, ...

    Amyloid P immunoreactivity precedes C4d deposition on extracellular neurofibrillary tangles

    Extracellular neurofibrillary tangles (eNFTs) are the insoluble cytoskeletal debris left behind when neurons with intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (iNFTs) die. Reactive microglia and reactive astrocytes ...

    Different levels of acetylcholinesterase and choline acetyltransferase activities in C57Bl/6 and DBA/2 mice are not accompanied with different density of cortical acetylcholinesterase reactive fibers

    Mice of the inbred strains C57Bl/6 and DBA/2 show strain-dependent behavioural differences which have been correlated with variations in the organization of brain cholinergic systems. The aim of our study was ...
