Our recent study shows that combining Array Tomography with an advanced imaging technique called Two-Colour Direct Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (dSTORM) allows for the observation of tau pathology at synapses with unprecedented detail. This approach offers new insights into how these proteins disrupt brain function in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). What Was Done in This Study? … Read more
White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are one of the imaging biomarkers of small vessel disease of presumed vascular origin. These lesions can be shown as areas of increases signal on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) magnetic resonance imaging. WMH are frequently found in the elderly population and in both sporadic and genetic forms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). … Read more
