A method for preparing phfs-like tau aggregates

The invention relates to a method for preparing PHFs-like Tau aggregates and to a method for identifying compounds that are inhibitors of Tau protein aggregation, blockers of Tau seeding and propagation, and imaging agents that specifically bind PHF. ...

Calpain-mediated tau fragmentation is altered in Alzheimer's disease progression

Andrea Pfeifer, Andreas Muhs

The aggregation of intracellular tau protein is a major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The extent and the stereotypical spread of tau pathology in the AD brain are correlated with cognitive decline during disease progression. Here we present an in-d ...

Protein Semisynthesis Provides Access to Tau Disease-Associated Post-translational Modifications (PTMs) and Paves the Way to Deciphering the Tau PTM Code in Health and Diseased States

Hilal Lashuel, Mahmood Haj Yahya

The microtubule-associated protein Tau plays a central role in neurodegeneration and is a leading therapeutic target for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Several lines of evidence suggest that post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate the ...

Cryo-EM structure of alpha-synuclein fibrils

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neuropathological disorder that belongs to the class of synucleinopathies, in which the protein alpha-synuclein is found at abnormally high concentrations in affected neurons. Its hallmark are intracellular inclusions c ...

Sequence and structural determinants of Tau aggregation and seeding capacity: Implications for Neurofibrillary Tangle formation and Tau toxicity in Alzheimer's disease

Nadine Aït Bouziad

Despite decades of research in Alzheimerâs disease (AD), no treatment has been found to efficiently prevent or cure its progression. The microtubule binding protein Tau plays central roles in the pathogenesis of AD and is found, in the form of paired hel ...

Discovery and characterization of novel stable tau oligomeric complexes: Implications for the role of Tau/phospholipid interactions in regulating its functions in health and disease

Hilal Lashuel, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Gizem Zorludemir

The microtubule-associated protein Tau plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Although Tau interaction with membranes is thought to affect some of its physiological functions and its aggregation properties, the sequence determinan ...

Memory performance-related dynamic brain connectivity indicates pathological burden and genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti

Background: The incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) strongly relates to advanced age and progressive deposition of cerebral amyloid-beta (A beta), hyperphosphorylated tau, and iron. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between ce ...

Measurement of the tau Lepton Polarization and R(D) in the Decay (B)over-bar -> D tau(-) (v)over-bar(tau)

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Tara Nanut, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Dipanwita Dutta

We report the first measurement of the tau lepton polarization P-tau(D*) in the decay (B) over bar -> D* tau(-) (v) over bar (tau) as well as a newmeasurement of the ratio of the branching fractions R(D*) = B((B) over bar -> D* tau(-) (v) over bar (tau)) / ...

Microtubule-Binding R3 Fragment from Tau Self-Assembles into Giant Multistranded Amyloid Ribbons

Hilal Lashuel, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Raffaele Mezzenga

Tau protein and its fragments self-assemble into amyloid fibrils in the presence of polyanions, such as heparin. By combining microscopy, scattering, and spectroscopy techniques, we studied the aggregation of the 26-mer Tau-derived peptide alone, Tau306-32 ...

Amyloid-beta plaque deposition measured using propagation-based X-ray phase contrast CT imaging

Bernard Schneider, Aurélien Lathuilière, Vanessa Laversenne, Marco Stampanoni

Amyloid beta accumulation into insoluble plaques (A beta p) is known to play a significant role in the pathological process in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The presence of A beta p is also one of the neuropathological hallmarks for the disease. AD final diagn ...
