Combined multi-omic profiling of synaptosomes enriched from postmortem frontal cortex and patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical neurons defines convergent molecular pathways underlying synapse vulnerability in both C9-FTD model systems and identifies synaptic localization of CE-containing transcripts as a previously unrecognized feature of TDP-43 proteinopathy.
SLC7A11-associated astrocyte states are associated with redox imbalance and synaptic microenvironment remodeling in MS and provide a glial-state framework linking neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and synaptic dysfunction, highlighting potential avenues for translational strategies in MS.

The findings establish the retina as an early site of AD synaptopathy and position UCHL1 as a candidate biomarker and mechanistic mediator linking amyloid pathology, neuroinflammation, and synaptic vulnerability.

Synaptic failure is considered an early driver of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), yet identifying the molecular events initiating synaptic decline remains challenging in end-stage human tissue. Here, we exploit the late involvement of the primary visual cortex (Brodmann Area 17 (BA17)) to investigate early disease...

Functional analysis of neuronal activity reveals delayed synaptic maturation in loss-of-function mutations and insights into how KIF1A mutations with distinct molecular-level impacts lead to significant downstream synaptic deficits in human neurons.

A transcriptional framework linking early TDP-43 stress responses to pathological aggregation in AD is provided, and potential upstream therapeutic targets are revealed, including ERK1/2, PI3K, small GTPases, and mRNA splicing pathways.
