CSF biomarkers reflecting beta-amyloid and axonal pathology in Alzheimer's disease and related conditions
(2011-11-18)
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers may be used to identify and monitor pathological processes in the central nervous system. CSF biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) include β-amyloid 42 (Aβ42), total-tau (T-tau) and ...
Tau fragments: role as biomarkers and in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies
(2019-09-10)
Abstract
Tau protein is physiologically expressed in neurons, where it is involved in microtubule assembly and stability. Tau functions are rigorously regulated by a series of modifications, e.g. phosphorylation and ...
Cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers for differentiating between Alzheimer’s disease and Vascular dementia
(2011-05-27)
Patients suffering from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) run a higher risk of developing dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) being the most common form. Vascular dementia (VaD) is proposed to be the second most common ...
The role of microglia in Alzheimer's disease - Investigating mechansims regulating amyloid-β clearance
(2016-05-31)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia today. The disease is characterized by the presence of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, accompanied by a progressive neurodegeneration ...
Evaluation of the Endo-Lysosomal System and the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System in Neurodegenerative Diseases
(2018-02-27)
Neurodegeneration is the process of neuronal cell loss where the symptoms will reflect the regions affected. Neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and frontotemporal ...
CSF biomarkers in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus- Diagnostics and pathophysiology
(2019-05-23)
Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a disease of the elderly with enlarged ventricles despite a normal CSF pressure. Clinically, iNPH presents with gait- and balance disturbances, cognitive decline and ...
Quantitative neuroproteomics for biomarker discovery in Alzheimer's disease
(2014-01-17)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia characterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. Novel biomarkers for AD are needed that reflect disease progression and could identify ...
