背景情况:
- 大脑粉样血管病变 (CAA) 是一种血管疾病,通常与阿尔茨海默氏症 (AD) 一起发生.
- 在CAA中病理的作用和特征尚未完全理解.
- 研究CAA中的tau负担对于了解疾病机制和潜在的治疗点至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 调查定子发射断层扫描 (PET) 和CAA之间的临床-放射学相关性.
- 为了比较可能患有CAA的患者与高血压小血管疾病 (SVD) 的tau负担.

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview
468
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Amyloid Fibrils
9.5K
Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins. Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils.
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen. In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...
