2,8 DHA Crystalline Nephropathy

18F-MK-6240 tau-PET In Genetic Frontotemporal Dementia

By Levy J, Savard M, Pascoal T, Bezgin G, Finger E, Laforce R, Sonnen JA, Soucy J-P, Gauthier S, Rosa-Neto P, Ducharme S

Tau is one of several proteins associated with frontotemporal dementia. While knowing which protein is causing a patient's disease is crucial, no biomarker currently exists for identifying tau in vivo in frontotemporal dementia.

2,8-Dihydroxyadenuria

5α-Reduced Progestogens Ameliorate Mood-Related Behavioral Pathology, Neurotoxicity, And Microgliosis Associated With Exposure To HIV-1 Tat

By Paris JJ, Zou S, Hahn YK, Knapp PE, Hauser KF

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with motor and mood disorders, likely influenced by reactive microgliosis and subsequent neural damage. We have recapitulated aspects of this pathology in mice that conditionally express the neurotoxic HIV-1 regulatory protein, trans-activator of transcription (Tat).
