Alzheimer's disease associations with increased Biondi body amyloid in hippocampal-associated choroid plexus epithelial cells and ependymal cells
Eunice Shin, Michelle I. Kim, Todd J. Soo, Olivia T. Espericueta, Erfan Zolfaghari, Michael J. Neel, Brett A. Johnson, Edwin S. Monuki
The paper investigates the association between Alzheimer's disease and Biondi body amyloid in hippocampal-associated choroid plexus epithelial cells and ependymal cells, finding a near-significant increase in BB-containing CPECs and a significant increase in BB-like amyloid in ependymal cells in AD.
