Evidence for ApoE/Reelin-ApoER2 axis disruption in the entorhinal-hippocampal memory system in AD. ApoE, HNE-ApoE, Reelin, ApoER2, Dab1, and p-Tau accumulate in neuritic plaques in the molecular layers of the dentate gyrus (A-C) and cornu ammonis (D-F). From Ramsden et al., JAD87(3).
A gut neuroepithelial circuit activation (the neuropod cells) in response to bacterial curli breach in the symptomatic AD mice. TLR2, Toll-Like Receptor 2; Aβ, amyloid-beta; PGP 9.5, Protein gene product 9.5 (neuroendocrine marker). From Das et al., JAD 88(1).
