Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide and the leading cause of dementia in the elderly. New approaches to study AD are still needed to identify and validate blood-based diagnostic biomarkers that could be useful for its early diagnosis. Circulating autoantibodies (AAbs) and their target proteins (autoantigens) are promising candidate biomarkers to aid in AD early diagnosis.

RNF7 (Ring Finger Protein 7) is a key component of CRLs (Cullin-RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases) and has been found to possess intrinsic anti-ROS capabilities. Aberrant expression of RNF7 has been observed in various tumor types and is known to significantly influence tumor initiation and progression. However, the specific role of RNF7 in glioblastoma remains unclear.

Increased expression of VEGFR-1 and its ligand VEGFB were associated with a more rapid rate of cognitive decline, providing evidence of a potential link between aberrant VEGFR-1 expression in AD pathogenesis. In this study, we explored the potential role of aberrant VEGFR-1 expression in neurons on AD pathology.

Background: Emerging evidence strongly suggests that terminally differentiated neurons in the brain have the potential to undergo a cell cycle-like process during neuronal aging and in the presence of certain diseases. However, due to their infrequent occurrence and unpredictable distribution within the brain, the molecular characteristics and specific variations associated with these cells in different diseases are still not well understood.
Method: By taking advantage of the wealth of human brain single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) datasets available in public repositories, we developed an analytical pipeline that facilitates the identification and characterization of cell cycle gene re-expressing neurons to address these questions.
Background: TAR-DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP43), is a pathologic marker in neurodegenerative diseases including frontotemporal lobar degeneration and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The aggregation of TDP-43, a crucial RNA-binding protein, is a consequence of post-translational modifications (PTMs) that disrupt its normal function. PTMs such as phosphorylation and ubiquitination contribute to the aberrant accumulation of TDP-43 aggregates, leading to neurodegenerative disorders like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).
