Abstract

Dysfunctional microRNAs and GABAergic interneurons are features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The role of neuronal microRNA155 (miR155), elevated in both AD and Down syndrome (DS), remains unknown.

Inhibition of Moesin and CD44 in stem cell‐derived neurons affects the pathological genetic signature associated with Alzheimer's disease

Post mortem proteomic analysis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain tissue has identified novel target genes and proteins for potential therapeutic development. Moesin (MSN) and CD44 were identified as candidate targets. Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)‐derived neurons, we assayed how reducing gene expression of MSN and CD44 affected amyloid beta secretion, tau phosphorylation, and transcriptional state.

Single‐cell atlas of neuroglial dynamics in SNCA‐A53T Parkinson's disease mouse model

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of midbrain substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons, resulting in striatal dopamine depletion and motor dysfunction. While this pathological cascade is well‐established, its underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Disruption of hippocampal upstream regulators of mTOR and insulin pathways in Down syndrome with Alzheimer's disease neuropathology: Preliminary observations

Down syndrome (DS) is caused by a complete or partial trisomy of chromosome 21, resulting in variable intellectual disabilities and a high risk for early‐onset Alzheimer's disease (DS‐AD). Dysregulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and insulin (INS) signaling pathways has been reported in DS. We hypothesized that upstream alterations in these two pathways contribute to hippocampal dysfunction in DS‐AD.
