Spatial proteomics of hippocampal subfield-specific pathology in Alzheimer’s disease and primary age-related tauopathy
INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and primary age-related tauopathy (PART) both harbor 3R/4R hyperphosphorylated-tau (p-tau)-positive neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) but differ in the spatial p-tau development in the hippocampus. METHODS: Using Nanostring…

Exposure to environmental airborne particulate matter caused wide-ranged transcriptional changes and accelerated Alzheimer’s-related pathology: A mouse study
Air pollution poses a significant threat to human health, though a clear understanding of its mechanism remains elusive. In this study, we sought to better understand the effects of various…

Loss of Grin2a causes a transient delay in the electrophysiological maturation of hippocampal parvalbumin interneurons
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are ligand-gated ionotropic glutamate receptors that mediate a calcium-permeable component to fast excitatory neurotransmission. NMDARs are heterotetrameric assemblies of two obligate GluN1 subunits (GRIN1) and two GluN2…

Translational strategies and systems biology insights for blood-brain barrier opening and delivery in brain tumors and Alzheimer’s disease
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a critical role in determining the effectiveness of systemic treatments for brain diseases. Over the years, several innovative approaches in BBB opening and drug delivery…
