Diffuse neurofibrillary tangles with calcification: a new presenile dementia.
The term "diffuse neurofibrillary tangles with calcification" (DNTC) is proposed for a new form of presenile dementia. It is characterised by slowly progressive cortical dementia in the presenium, localised temporal or temporofrontal lobar atrophy, numerous neurofibrillary tangles widespread in the cerebral cortex, and pronounced calcareous deposits; 16 cases of DNTC, have been reported.
متن کاملNeurofibrillary Tangles of Aβx-40 in Alzheimer's Disease Brains.
The two pathognomonic lesions in the brain of AD patients are senile plaques and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). Previous studies have demonstrated that amyloid-β (Aβ) is a component of both senile plaques and NFTs, and have showed that intracellular accumulation of Aβ is toxic for cells and precedes the appearance of extracellular amyloid deposits. Here we report that there are nu...
متن کاملSilencing of CDK5 reduces neurofibrillary tangles in transgenic alzheimer's mice.
Alzheimer's disease is a major cause of dementia for which treatments remain unsatisfactory. Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) is a relevant kinase that has been hypothesized to contribute to the tau pathology. Several classes of chemical inhibitors for CDK5 have been developed, but they generally lack the specificity to distinguish among various ATP-dependent kinases. Therefore, the efficacy of...
متن کاملAccumulation of tumor-suppressor PTEN in Alzheimer neurofibrillary tangles.
The phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) negatively regulates intracellular levels of PIP3 and antagonizes the PI3K signaling pathway important for cell survival. The present study determined whether altered distribution of PTEN occurs in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. We investigated a possible role for PTEN in postmortem brain tissues from elderly controls and pa...
متن کاملSenile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in cortical neurons in AD
Neurodegenerative disorders are characterized clinically by insidious onset and slowly progressive course, and are frequently hereditary. Pathologically, these diseases share a common feature: the selective loss of a particular subset of neurons for unknown reasons [e.g. cerebral cortical neurons in ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE (AD) (see Glossary), substantia nigra neurons in PARKINSON’S DISEASE (PD), s...
