- 神经成像是一种神经成像.
- 生物标志物发现发现
- 神经退行性疾病 神经退行性疾病
背景情况:
- 亲属前叶退行症 (FTLD) 提出了诊断方面的挑战.
- 识别敏感的生物标志物用于早期检测对于干预至关重要.
- 在C9orf72,GRN和MAPT中的基因突变是家族性FTLD的关键原因.
研究的目的:
- 评估皮质平均扩散度 (cMD) 作为家族FTLD早期神经退行症的敏感生物标志物.
- 为了比较cMD与皮层厚度 (cTH) 在检测微观结构变化的灵敏度.

主要方法:
- 对322名参与者的分析:C9orf72,GRN,MAPT突变的症状携带者和健康对照.
- 使用cMD和cTH评估皮质微结构.
- 评估临床严重程度 (CDR加NACC FTLD尺度) 和NFL的血度.
主要成果:

Amyloid Fibrils
9.9K
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,...

Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAPs)
4.5K
Microtubule function and architecture are regulated by an array of specialized proteins called microtubule-associated proteins or MAPs. These proteins are widespread across different organisms and have conserved protein motifs, like the multi-TOG domain for tubulin binding found in the CLASP family of MAPs. Some MAPs are lineage-specific based on their conserved domains. Their functions depend upon the cytoskeletal architecture and cell type they are located within. In-plant cells, a specific...
