The Ontario Neurodegenerative Research Initiative (ONDRI) is a 3 years multi-site prospective cohort study that has acquired comprehensive multiple assessment platform data, including 3T structural MRI, from neurodegenerative patients with Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementia, and cerebrovascular disease. This heterogeneous cross-section of patients with complex neurodegenerative and neurovascular pathologies pose significant challenges for standard neuroimaging tools. To effectively quantify regional measures of normal and pathological brain tissue volumes, the ONDRI neuroimaging platform implemented a semi-automated MRI processing pipeline that was able to address many of the challenges resulting from this heterogeneity. The purpose …

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease associated with protein misfolding and protein aggregation. In particular, the TAR DNA-binding protein (TDP-43) is often found in the pathological inclusions in neurons of ALS patient brains and spinal cords. This phenomenon is known as TDP-43 proteinopathy, the mislocalization of TDP-43 from the cell nucleus and the formation of aggregates in the cytoplasm. Numerous mutations in the gene encoding TDP-43 have also been linked to familial cases of ALS (fALS) and cause TDP-43 proteinopathy. This study attempts to decipher how the molecular chaperone Hsp90 and its co-chaperones, Aha1, Sti1, and Cdc37, modulate …
