Scientists found a novel amyloid fibril, Aβ42 Type III, in brains extracts from a man who had AD. It contains three, not two, protofilaments. Shanghai Jiao Tong University ow.ly/6pms50WjC1m

Are T cells in the brain friend or foe? In tauopathy mice, CD8⁺ T cells can slow pathology. In older, wild-type mice, they damage the optic nerve. (@NINDSnews NIH @tumuenchen ow.ly/5yc650Wos1Y

In a large study of three cohorts, scientists found that CSF α-synuclein assays not only diagnose Parkinson’s disease with high sensitivity, but also predict who will develop dementia—and how quickly. UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology ow.ly/syAV50WoxqQ

The first four papers mining the GNPC proteomics dataset surfaced plasma signatures of cognitive decline and neurodegeneration, and a pro-inflammatory profile in APOE4 carriers. #alzheimers #parkinsons #FTD @wustl Stanford University University of Oxford University of Sydney ow.ly/Qnwt50WuxQR
