This might help with detection. 

Most neurodegenerative illnesses, including dementia, involve proteins clumping into amyloid filaments. Typically, scientists have identified these proteins, allowing focused efforts on diagnostics and treatments. However, in about 10% of frontotemporal dementia cases, the specific culprit protein remained elusive.

Recently, researchers successfully pinpointed the aggregated structures of the TAF15 protein in these particular instances. Frontotemporal dementia affects the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes, impacting emotions, behavior, language, and speech. Unlike Alzheimer’s, it often emerges between 45 and 65, though it can occur earlier or later.

This breakthrough research revealed these unique protein structures, offering a potential avenue for improved diagnostics and therapies. Identifying this key protein and its structure is now pivotal for diagnosing and addressing this specific frontotemporal dementia variant.

This strategy echoes efforts targeting amyloid-beta and tau protein aggregates in Alzheimer’s disease. The team utilized advanced cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to inspect these aggregates at an atomic level in four individuals’ brains affected by this form of dementia.

Initially, FUS was believed responsible for aggregation in this dementia type, aligning with similar disorders. However, the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology team, using cryo-EM, discovered that the protein forming these aggregates was unexpectedly TAF15.

This revelation was surprising as TAF15 hadn’t been previously linked to amyloid filaments in neurodegenerative conditions, lacking known structural details.

Cryo-EM is transforming our understanding of dementia and neurodegenerative diseases, offering unprecedented insights. However, the method’s intricacy limited this study to only four brain samples.

Yet, armed with this new understanding of the crucial protein and its structure, there’s potential to develop tools for analyzing numerous patient samples, evaluating the presence and extent of these abnormal protein clusters.
