We describe a method for the analysis of the distribution of displacements, i.e., the propagators, of single-particle tracking measurements for the case of obstructed subdiffusion in two-dimensional membranes. The propagator for the percolation cluster is compared with a two-component mobility model against Monte Carlo simulations. To account for diffusion in the presence of obstacle concentrations below the percolation threshold, a propagator that includes the transient motion in finite percolation clusters and hopping between obstacle-induced compartments is derived. Finally, these models are shown to be effective in the analysis of Kv2.1 channel diffusive measurements in the membrane of living mammalian cells.

Background: The brainstem locus coeruleus (LC) is among the first sites of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, accruing hyperphosphorylated tau as early as in young adulthood. Animal studies indicate that the LC is crucially involved in sleep-wake regulation, a recently established factor contributing to AD-related pathophysiological processes. However, the associations between LC integrity and sleep-wake phenotypes in the context of AD pathology remain poorly characterized in humans.

Background: Accelerated long-term forgetting (ALF) is a form of episodic memory impairment where information is retained normally over 30-60 minutes but lost at an accelerated rate over subsequent days to weeks, and is a very early - perhaps the earliest - cognitive change in both autosomal dominant and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the neuroanatomical changes underlying ALF in AD have remained elusive. We explored associations between ALF and focal cortical thickness in presymptomatic autosomal dominant AD (ADAD).

Small-molecule fluorophores are invaluable tools for fluorescence imaging. However, means for their covalent conjugation to the target proteins limit applications in multicolor imaging. Here, we identify 2-[(alkylhio)(ryl)ethylene]alononitrile (TAMM) molecules reacting with 1,2-aminothiol at a labeling rate over 10 M s through detailed mechanistic investigation.

Bioanalytical sensors are adept at quantifying target analytes from complex sample matrices with high sensitivity, but their multiplexing capacity is limited. Conversely, analytical separations afford great multiplexing capacity but typically require analyte labeling to increase sensitivity. Here, we report the development of a separation-based sensor to sensitively quantify unlabeled polysaccharides using particle motion tracking within a microfluidic electrophoresis platform.

Extracellular beta-amyloid aggregation and inflammation are in a complex and not fully understood interplay during hyperphosphorylated tau aggregation and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Our group has previously shown that an immune challenge with tumour necrosis factor alpha can alter extracellular beta-sheet containing aggregates in human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical neurons carrying familial Alzheimer's disease-related presenilin 1 mutations. Here, using single-molecule detection and super-resolution imaging techniques, we quantified and characterized the intra- and extracellular beta-amyloid and AT8-positive tau aggregates.
