Open AccessPyroglutamate Abeta pathology in APP/PS1KI mice, sporadic and familial Alzheimer’s disease cases
The presence of AβpE3 (N-terminal truncated Aβ starting with pyroglutamate) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has received considerable attention since the discovery that this peptide represents a dominant fraction of ...

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...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

Open AccessAlzheimer’s disease pathology propagation by exosomes containing toxic amyloid-beta oligomers
The gradual deterioration of cognitive functions in Alzheimer’s disease is paralleled by a hierarchical progression of amyloid-beta and tau brain pathology. Recent findings indicate that toxic oligomers of amy...

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...

Article
Open AccessTransethnic meta-analysis of rare coding variants in PLCG2, ABI3, and TREM2 supports their general contribution to Alzheimer’s disease
Rare coding variants in TREM2, PLCG2, and ABI3 were recently associated with the susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in Caucasians. Frequencies and AD-associated effects of variants differ across ethniciti...

Article
Open AccessBinding of α-synuclein oligomers to Cx32 facilitates protein uptake and transfer in neurons and oligodendrocytes
The intercellular transfer of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) has been implicated in the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). The cellular mechanisms underlying this process are n...

Open AccessHigh levels of AAV vector integration into CRISPR-induced DNA breaks
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have shown promising results in preclinical models, but the genomic consequences of transduction with AAV vectors encoding CRISPR-Cas nucleases is still being examined. In ...

Open AccessAltered levels of CSF proteins in patients with FTD, presymptomatic mutation carriers and non-carriers
The clinical presentations of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are diverse and overlap with other neurological disorders. There are, as of today, no biomarkers in clinical practice for diagnosing the disorders. H...

Open AccessDual-task tests discriminate between dementia, mild cognitive impairment, subjective cognitive impairment, and healthy controls – a cross-sectional cohort study
Discrimination between early-stage dementia and other cognitive impairment diagnoses is central to enable appropriate interventions. Previous studies indicate that dual-task testing may be useful in such diffe...

Open AccessSelf-reported difficulty initiating sleep and early morning awakenings are associated with nocturnal diastolic non-dip** in older white Swedish men
Chronically blunted nocturnal blood pressure (BP) dip** has been shown to increase the future risk of cardiovascular diseases. In the present cross-sectional study, we investigated whether self-reported inso...

Open AccessExtracellular vesicles from amyloid-β exposed cell cultures induce severe dysfunction in cortical neurons
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by a substantial loss of neurons and synapses throughout the brain. The exact mechanism behind the neurodegeneration is still unclear, but recent data suggests that sp...
