Diego Mastroeni, assistant research professor at ASU's Banner Neurodegenerative Disease Research Center. The onset and advancement of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is affected not only by a patient’s genes but also by the molecular switches that turn them on and off. Now, one of the largest studies of these controls, know collectively as the epigenome, offers scores of possible AD treatment targets. The meta-study, led by Katie Lunnon of the University of Exeter Medical School in the United Kingdom, appears in the journal Nature Communications. Co-author Diego Mastroeni of the ASU-Banner Neu...

21 Jan 2021 As Alzheimer’s tangle pathology progresses, neurodegeneration sweeps through the brain in a stereotypical fashion. But why do some neurons perish early on, while their neighbors persist until the bitter end? A study published January 11 in Nature Neuroscience addressed this question by tracing the gene-expression profiles of neurons in the brains of people who died in the early or late stages of the disease. Among myriad subpopulations of cells, the researchers zeroed in on subsets of excitatory neurons that express the transcription factor RORB as the first to succumb. Initiall...
