Thy1-Neuron p38α knockdown protects against neurological consequences following repetitive mild traumatic brain injury

Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI) can substantially impact quality of life, and repetitive mTBIs (rmTBIs) can amplify injury effects compared to a single injury. However, effective clinical treatments remain elusive, largely due to an incomplete understanding of the underlying...

Aβ-42 Side Chain Deamidation at Q15 or N27 Modulates Protein Aggregation and Alters Microglial Cytokines and CD68

The progressive aggregation of amyloid beta (Aβ) monomers into oligomers is a critical factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis. Although mutated forms of Aβ have been shown to display altered aggregation dynamics, the specific effects of deamidated Aβ on microglial functi...
