Open AccessN-truncated Abeta starting with position four: early intraneuronal accumulation and rescue of toxicity using NT4X-167, a novel monoclonal antibody
The amyloid hypothesis in Alzheimer disease (AD) considers amyloid β peptide (Aβ) deposition causative in triggering down-stream events like neurofibrillary tangles, cell loss, vascular damage and memory decli...

Open AccessThe Arctic AβPP mutation leads to Alzheimer’s disease pathology with highly variable topographic deposition of differentially truncated Aβ
The Arctic mutation (p.E693G/p.E22G)fs within the β-amyloid (Aβ) region of the β-amyloid precursor protein gene causes an autosomal dominant disease with clinical picture of typical Alzheimer’s disease. Here w...

Meta-analysis of 74,046 individuals identifies 11 new susceptibility loci for Alzheimer's disease
Philippe Amouyel, Julie Williams, Gerard Schellenberg, Sudha Seshadri and colleagues report a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for late-onset Alzheimer's disease in 17,008 cases and 37,154 cont...

Open AccessAbundance of Aβ5-xlike immunoreactivity in transgenic 5XFAD, APP/PS1KI and 3xTG mice, sporadic and familial Alzheimer’s disease
According to the modified amyloid hypothesis the main event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the deposition of neurotoxic amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) within neurons. Additionally to full-length pe...

Open AccessDeposition of C-terminally truncated Aβ species Aβ37 and Aβ39 in Alzheimer’s disease and transgenic mouse models
In Alzheimer’s disease (AD) a variety of amyloid β-peptides (Aβ) are deposited in the form of extracellular diffuse and neuritic plaques (NP), as well as within the vasculature. The generation of Aβ from its p...

α-Synuclein in Extracellular Vesicles: Functional Implications and Diagnostic Opportunities
Fibrillar inclusions of intraneuronal α-synuclein can be detected in certain brain areas from patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other disorders with Lewy body pathology. These insoluble protein aggreg...

Open AccessHigh tau levels in cerebrospinal fluid predict nursing home placement and rapid progression in Alzheimer’s disease
Increased concentrations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) total tau (t-tau) and phosphorylated tau, as well as decreased amyloid-β 42 peptide, are biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology, but few studies ...

Cellular Uptake of α-Synuclein Oligomer-Selective Antibodies is Enhanced by the Extracellular Presence of α-Synuclein and Mediated via Fcγ Receptors
Immunotherapy targeting aggregated α-synuclein has emerged as a potential treatment strategy against Parkinson’s disease and other α-synucleinopathies. We have developed α-synuclein oligomer/protofibril select...

Rare coding variants in PLCG2, ABI3, and TREM2 implicate microglial-mediated innate immunity in Alzheimer's disease
Sven van der Lee, Julie Williams, Gerard Schellenberg and colleagues identify rare coding variants in PLCG2, ABI3 and TREM2 associated with Alzheimer's disease. These genes are highly expressed in microglia and p...

Open AccessMap** of Surface-Exposed Epitopes of In Vitro and In Vivo Aggregated Species of Alpha-Synuclein
Aggregated alpha-synuclein is the main component of Lewy bodies, intraneuronal deposits observed in Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. The objective of the study was to identify surface-exposed...

Open AccessAlpha-synuclein oligomer-selective antibodies reduce intracellular accumulation and mitochondrial impairment in alpha-synuclein exposed astrocytes
Due to its neurotoxic properties, oligomeric alpha-synuclein (α-syn) has been suggested as an attractive target for passive immunization against Parkinson’s disease (PD). In mouse models of PD, antibody treatm...

Refining the accuracy of validated target identification through coding variant fine-map** in type 2 diabetes
We aggregated coding variant data for 81,412 type 2 diabetes cases and 370,832 controls of diverse ancestry, identifying 40 coding variant association signals (P < 2.2 × 10−7); of these, 16 map outside known risk...

Open AccessEfficient clearance of Aβ protofibrils in AβPP-transgenic mice treated with a brain-penetrating bifunctional antibody
Amyloid-β (Aβ) immunotherapy is one of the most promising disease-modifying strategies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Despite recent progress targeting aggregated forms of Aβ, low antibody brain penetrance rema...

Fine-map** type 2 diabetes loci to single-variant resolution using high-density imputation and islet-specific epigenome maps
We expanded GWAS discovery for type 2 diabetes (T2D) by combining data from 898,130 European-descent individuals (9% cases), after imputation to high-density reference panels. With these data, we (i) extend th...

Open AccessSecretion and Uptake of α-Synuclein Via Extracellular Vesicles in Cultured Cells
In Parkinson’s disease and other Lewy body disorders, the propagation of pathology has been accredited to the spreading of extracellular α-synuclein (α-syn). Although the pathogenic mechanisms are not fully un...

Genetic meta-analysis of diagnosed Alzheimer’s disease identifies new risk loci and implicates Aβ, tau, immunity and lipid processing
Risk for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD), the most prevalent dementia, is partially driven by genetics. To identify LOAD risk loci, we performed a large genome-wide association meta-analysis of clinicall...

α-Synuclein strains target distinct brain regions and cell types
The clinical and pathological differences between synucleinopathies such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy have been postulated to stem from unique strains of α-synuclein aggregates, akin to w...
