Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder seen in age-
dependent dementia. There is currently no effective treatment for AD, which may be …

Defeating Alzheimer's disease and other dementias: a priority for European science and society
Executive summary Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia, and
because the primary risk factor for AD is old age, the prevalence of the disease is increasing …

Genetic meta-analysis of diagnosed Alzheimer's disease identifies new risk loci and implicates Aβ, tau, immunity and lipid processing
Risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), the most prevalent dementia, is partially
driven by genetics. To identify LOAD risk loci, we performed a large genome-wide …

Super-enhancers in the control of cell identity and disease
Super-enhancers are large clusters of transcriptional enhancers that drive expression of
genes that define cell identity. Improved understanding of the roles that super-enhancers …

A single-cell atlas of entorhinal cortex from individuals with Alzheimer's disease reveals cell-type-specific gene expression regulation
There is currently little information available about how individual cell types contribute to
Alzheimer's disease. Here we applied single-nucleus RNA sequencing to entorhinal cortex …

Microglial signatures and their role in health and disease
O Butovsky, HL Weiner - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2018 - nature.com
Microglia are the primary innate immune cells in the CNS. In the healthy brain, they exhibit a
unique molecular homeostatic 'signature', consisting of a specific transcriptional profile and …

Roles of tau protein in health and disease
Tau is well established as a microtubule-associated protein in neurons. However, under
pathological conditions, aberrant assembly of tau into insoluble aggregates is accompanied …
