Intracellular Trafficking SNARE Protein, Syntaxin-6, is a Modifier of Prion and Tau Pathogenesis in vivo and in Cellular Models

Elizabeth Hill, Mitali Patel, Juan Manuel Ribes, Jacqueline M. Linehan, Fuquan Zhang, Michael Farmer, Tatiana Jakubcova, Shyma Hamdan, Andrew Tomlinson, Tiziana Ercolani, Christian Schmidt, Parvin Ahmed, George Thirlway, Silvia A. Purro, Fabio Argentina, , Simon Mead

This study identifies syntaxin-6 as a modifier of prion and tau pathogenesis, showing it affects disease onset but not progression in experimental models.

Induction and characterisation of Abeta and tau pathology in AppNL-F/NL-F mice following inoculation with Alzheimer's disease brain homogenate

Silvia A. Purro, Michael Farmer, Emma Quarterman, Julia Ravey, David X. Thomas, Elizabeth Noble, Catherine Turnbull, Jacqueline M. Linehan, Tamsin Nazari, Sebastian Brandner, Mark A. Farrow, Dominic M. Walsh, John Collinge

This study inoculates AppNL-F/NL-F mice with AD brain homogenates to study A{beta} and tau pathology, finding prion-like propagation and new insights into their interactions.

Impact of cellular prion protein expression on disease progression and pathology in two mouse models of Alzheimer's disease

Silvia A. Purro, Michael Farmer, Elizabeth Noble, Claire J. Sarell, Megan Powell, Daniel Chun-Mun Yip, Lauren Giggins, Leila Zakka, David X. Thomas, Mark A. Farrow, Andrew J. Nicoll, Dominic M. Walsh, John Collinge

This study investigates the impact of cellular prion protein expression on disease progression in two Alzheimer's disease mouse models, finding contradictory results that may be explained by differences in Aβ oligomer conformation.
