The deposition of abnormal protein aggregates is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. The most prevalent, Alzheimer's disease (AD), is characterized by the brain accumulation of aggregates formed by the Abeta peptide. Although the pathogenesis of AD is not fully understood, strong evidence indicate that soluble Abeta oligomers (AbOs) play a central role in the molecular bas…
Toxic protein oligomers are believed to be the main culprit for the synaptic loss and cognitive decline in proteinopathies afflicting the central nervous system (CNS), as Alzheimer's, Parkinson, and prionoses. As a result, the interaction between oligomers and neurons is now seen as a preferential target for the development of novel therapeutic strategies against these neuropathologies. O…
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a proteinopathy responsible for most cases of dementia today. Its clinical manifestations are associated with neuronal damage and loss triggered by the binding of soluble ²-amyloid peptide oligomers (A²Os). The current project proposes using cultures of adult human brain tissue slices, prepared using tissue obtained from patients undergoing neurosurgical proced…
Neurotropic viruses can cause central nervous system (CNS) diseases. About 30% of confirmed encephalitis cases are attributed to viral infections. Despite that, the molecular mechanisms and cellular alterations resulting from viruses infections in the human brain are still not well characterized. Murine models have been widely used to elucidate mechanisms associated with viral infections,…

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is clinically characterized by progressive memory loss followed by deficits in other cognitive functions, resulting from neuronal damage accumulated over the years and triggered mainly by the binding of soluble oligomers of the amyloid-ß peptide (AßOs). AßOs are associated with neurotoxicity in AD models, including altered gene expression, synaptic loss, productio…
Brain slice cultures maintain the cytoarchitecture and cell connections present in brain tissue and have been widely applied in neuroscience research. In our laboratory, we have developed a method for culturing adult human brain tissue under free-floating conditions. In the past few years, we have applied this model to study cellular and molecular aspects associated with the brain pathoge…
