Targeting TDP-43 Proteinopathies in Neurodegeneration by its Native-State Stabilization.
Preventing the misfolding or aggregation of TDP-43 is the most actively pursued disease-modifying strategy to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative diseases. In our work, we provide proof of concept that native state stabili ...
EPFL2024Discontinuous Galerkin methods for Fisher-Kolmogorov equation with application to a-synuclein spreading in Parkinson's disease
Alfio Quarteroni, Francesca Bonizzoni
This spreading of prion proteins is at the basis of brain neurodegeneration. This paper deals with the numerical modelling of the misfolding process of a-synuclein in Parkinson's disease. We introduce and analyse a discontinuous Galerkin method for the sem ...
Lausanne2023Deconstructing and Reconstructing the Complexity of Tau pathology
This thesis consists of four Chapters unified by a singular theme â how do we develop disease models that faithfully reproduce the pathology seen in patients suffering from neurodegenerative disorders associated with the Tau protein, such as Alzheimerâ ...
EPFL2023Effective Inhibition of TDP-43 Aggregation by Native State Stabilization
Hilal Lashuel, Yllza Jasiqi, Lixin Yang
Preventing the misfolding or aggregation of transactive response DNA binding protein with 43 kDa (TDP-43) is the most actively pursued disease-modifying strategy to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, we ...
Weinheim2023Trans‐seeding of Alzheimer‐related tau protein by a yeast prion
Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Zhiva Skachokova
Abnormal tau protein aggregates constitute a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The mechanisms underlying the initiation of tau aggregation in sporadic neurodegeneration remain unclear. Here we investigate whether a non-human prion can seed tau aggregation. ...
2022Tau seeds from patients induce progressive supranuclear palsy pathology and symptoms in primates
Grégoire Courtine, Tomislav Milekovic, Flavio Raschella
Progressive supranuclear palsy is a primary tauopathy affecting both neurons and glia and is responsible for both motor and cognitive symptoms. Recently, it has been suggested that progressive supranuclear palsy tauopathy may spread in the brain from cell ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS2022Cortical and subcortical changes in resting-state neuronal activity and connectivity in early symptomatic ALS and advanced frontotemporal dementia
The objective of this study was to examine if patterns of resting-state brain activity and functional connectivity in cortical and subcortical regions in patients with early symptomatic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) resemble those of behavioural vari ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2022FTLD-TDP assemblies seed neoaggregates with subtype-specific features via a prion-like cascade
Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Amanda Jennifer Lewis, Marta Di Fabrizio, Julien Weber
Morphologically distinct TDP-43 aggregates occur in clinically different FTLD-TDP subtypes, yet the mechanism of their emergence and contribution to clinical heterogeneity are poorly understood. Several lines of evidence suggest that pathological TDP-43 fo ...
WILEY2021Discovery of 2-(4-(2-fluoroethoxy)piperidin-1-yl)-9-methyl-9H-pyrrolo[2,3-b:4,5-c']dipyridine ([18F]PI-2014) as PET tracer for the detection of pathological aggregated tau in Alzheimer's disease and other tauopathies
The compound screening was initiated with a direct staining assay to identify compounds binding to Tau aggregates and not Abeta plaques using human brain sections derived from late stage Alzheimer's disease donors. The binding of Tau aggregate selective co ...
