Defective lysosomal proteolysis and axonal transport are early pathogenic events that worsen with age leading to increased APP metabolism and synaptic Abeta in transgenic APP/PS1 hippocampus
(2012)
Background: Axonal pathology might constitute one of the earliest manifestations of Alzheimer disease. Axonal dystrophies were observed in Alzheimer’s patients and transgenic models at early ages. These axonal dystrophies ...

Effective Knockdown of Gene Expression in Primary Microglia With siRNA and Magnetic Nanoparticles Without Cell Death or Inflammation
(Frontiers Media, 2018)
Microglia, the resident immune cells of the brain, have multiple functions in physiological and pathological conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The use of primary microglial cell cultures has proved to be a ...

Human Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Neural Cellsas a Relevant Platform for Drug Screening inAlzheimer’s Disease
(MDPI, 2020)
Extracellular amyloid-beta deposition and intraneuronal Tau-laden neurofibrillary tanglesare prime features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The pathology of AD is very complex and still notfully understood, since different ...

Should we open fire on microglia? Depletion models as tools to elucidate microglial role in health and alzheimer’s disease
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021)
Microglia play a critical role in both homeostasis and disease, displaying a wide variety in terms of density, functional markers and transcriptomic profiles along the different brain regions as well as under injury or ...
