  1. Deep clinical and neuropathological phenotyping of Pick disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Annals of neurology 2015-12-25 Brain scans and imaging

    Pick disease tau neuropathology may originate in limbic/paralimbic cortices.

  2. In order to gain insight into the pathogenesis of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), the mean tau load in frontal cortex was compared in 34 patients with frontotemporal dementia linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) with 12 different mutations in the tau gene (MAPT), 11 patients with sporadic FTLD with Pick bodies and 25 patients with early onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD).

  3. Pick's disease pathology of a missense mutation of S305N of frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17: another phenotype of S305N

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders 2004-01-01 Drug development

    We report the second phenotype of frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 with S305N similar to Pick's disease pathology in two brothers.

  4. Severity of gliosis in Pick's disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration: tau-positive glia differentiate these disorders

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Brain : a journal of neurology 2003-04-01 Biomarkers

    Formalin-fixed brain specimens from sporadic cases with frontotemporal dementia (eight with tau-positive Pick bodies, five with frontotemporal lobar degeneration without inclusions) were compared with those from non-diseased controls (n = 5).

  5. Anti-tau phospho-specific Ser262 antibody recognizes a variety of abnormal hyper-phosphorylated tau deposits in tauopathies including Pick bodies and argyrophilic grains

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2002-08-30 Drug development

    The rabbit polyclonal anti-tau phospho-specific Ser262 antibody (577814 Calbiochem) recognizes disease-specific band patterns on Western blots of sarkosyl-insoluble fractions in Alzheimer's disease (AD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), argyrophilic grain disease (AGD) and Pick's disease (PiD): four bands of 74/72, 68, 64 and 60 kDa in AD, two bands of 68 and 64 kDa in PSP, CBD and AGD, and two bands of 64 and 60 kDa in PiD.

  6. A double-labeling immunohistochemical study of tau exon 10 in Alzheimer's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy and Pick's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2000-09-01 Drug development

    Neurofibrillary tangles (NFT), one of the histopathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), and Pick bodies in Pick's disease (PiD) are composed of microtubule-associated protein tau, which is the product of alternative splicing of a gene on chromosome 17.
