Insets show TDP-43 positive neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions (Inset A--in dentate granule cells) and wispy non-tapering cellular processes stained for TDP-43 protein (Inset B--in CA1). LATE is a term that describes a prevalent medical condition with impaired memory and thinking in advanced age, often culminating in the dementia clinical syndrome ...
As Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia — affecting an estimated 6.7 million Americans ... called limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy — or LATE for short ...
Frontotemporal lobar degeneration; Neuropathologic analysis of brain tissue from FTLD-TDP patients. Ubiquitin immunohistochemistry in cases of familial FTLD-TDP demonstrates staining of (a) neurites and neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions in the superficial cerebral neocortex, (b) neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions in hippocampal dentate granule cells, and (c) neuronal intranuclear inclusions in the ...

A defining feature of both sporadic and familial disease is the cytoplasmic mis-localization of TAR DNA Binding Protein-43 (TDP-43). TDP-43 pathology is implicated in 90% of ALS cases and ...
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an early onset disorder that mostly occurs between the ages of 45 and 65, [13] but can begin earlier, and in 20–25% of cases onset is later. [11] [14] Men and women appear to be equally affected. [15] It is the most common early presenting dementia. [16]
TDP-43 is 414 amino acid residues long. It consists of four domains: an N-terminal domain spanning residues 1–76 (NTD) with a well-defined fold that has been shown to form a dimer or oligomer; [6] [7] two highly conserved folded RNA recognition motifs spanning residues 106–176 (RRM1) and 191–259 (RRM2), respectively, required to bind target RNA and DNA; [8] an unstructured C-terminal ...
[1] [2] [3] Semantic dementia is a disorder of semantic memory that causes patients to lose the ability to match words or images to their meanings. [4] However, it is fairly rare for patients with semantic dementia to develop category specific impairments, though there have been documented cases of it occurring. [5]
