Loss of Inhibitory CD33 Signaling Results in Increased Microglial Activation
(2021-06-23)
CD33 is expressed on immune cells of myeloid origin, such as macrophages and microglia. Upon activation, CD33 recruits and activates protein tyrosine phosphatases, which results in attenuation of the activatory signaling ...
Correlates and Determinants of Eye Movements Across the Adult Lifespan
(2022-08-29)
Eye movements reflect a multitude of perceptual, cognitive and motor processes. However, it is unknown what added value an oculomotor test battery has to the study protocol of cohort studies on aging and age-related diseases. ...
The mind's ratio: How the balance between ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids affects the risk of late-life dementia
(2022-02-03)
Dementia health care costs are rapidly rising due to the increasing number of people with dementia worldwide that is expected to increase to 66 million by 2030 and 115 million by 2050 (Prince et al., 2013). Intensive ......
Functional in vivo calcium imaging in the hippocampus under healthy and disease conditions
(2020-04-22)
The hippocampus has long been known to be essential for all features of memory processing. Hippocampal function strongly depends on the orchestrated activity of transiently autonomous neuronal populations that create the ......
TREM2 modulates differential deposition of post-translationally modified Aβ variants in the brain parenchyma and the vasculature
(2022-08-01)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the combined presence of extracellular amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) with abnormally phosphorylated tau (t) protein in the ...
Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome accelerates tau pathology
(2024-02-13)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the extracellular accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ), intraneuronal formation of neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated tau, and activation of microglia, which ...
Molecular Mechanisms of Aβ Peptide Aggregation and Interaction with Microglia via TREM2
(2024-01-22)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder accompanied by a decline in cognitive functions. It is estimated that roughly 50 million people are currently suffering from AD, a number that is thought ...
