Newest firstDysregulation of the complement system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). In post-mortem AD brains, complement is deposited in and around amyloid plaques, and peri-plaque complement activation drives synapse loss in AD mouse models. Studies to date have focused on amyloid pathology; however, aggregated tau is also involved in neuronal loss…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background The complex pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) hampers the development of effective treatments. Attempts to prevent neurodegeneration in AD have failed so far, highlighting the need for further clarification of the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms. Neuroinflammation seems to play a crucial role in disease progression, although its specific contribution to AD pathogenesis remains elu…
Several lines of evidence implicate immunological/inflammatory factors in development of schizophrenia. Complement is a key driver of inflammation, and complement dysregulation causes pathology in many diseases. Here we explored whether complement dysregulation occurred in first episode psychosis (FEP) and whether this provides a source of biomarkers. Eleven complement analytes (C1q, C3, C4, C5, factor B [FB], ter…
