Contemporary data on three enzymes of vertebrate cross-striated muscle thick filaments, such as creatine kinase, AMP-deaminase and phosphofructokinase, are reviewed. The physico-chemical, enzymatic and regulatory properties and localization of these enzymes in different zones of the thick filament are considered. The functional relevance of localization of creatine kinase, AMP-deaminase and phosphofructokinase on thick filaments is discussed in terms of the possible role of the enzyme adsorption on subcellular structures in regulation of metabolic processes.

Background: Tau pathology and neurodegeneration in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) are highly associated in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, the spatial pattern of neurodegeneration, contribution of individual tau inclusion types, and influence of MTL co-pathologies (i.e.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is neuropathologically heterogeneous and can be objectively classified along a spectrum of corticolimbic tangle distribution as hippocampal sparing (HpSp) AD, typical AD, and limbic predominant AD. The olfactory bulb is an early area of tau accumulation with a direct connection to the amygdala. Although tau pathology has been identified in the olfactory bulb, its association with AD subtypes remains unclear.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is defined by the presence of ß-amyloid (Aß) plaques and tau-based neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Understanding the temporal relationship of NFTs with atrophy in early AD regions, specifically the medial temporal lobe (MTL), is critical for monitoring disease progression. Accumulation of NFTs has been suggested to precede atrophy because cross-sectional measures of atrophy are more weakly associated with baseline tracer uptake than prospective longitudinal ones.

Background: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), which includes cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and arteriolosclerosis, often co-occurs with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is susceptible to hosting multiple AD pathologies, such as neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), amyloid-ß plaques, phospho-Tar-DNA-Binding-Protein-43 (pTDP-43), as well as CSVD. Whether a causal relationship between these pathologies exists remains largely unknown, but one potential linking mechanism is the dysfunction of perivascular clearance.
