Search DIAN Tissue Requests

In order to avoid the situation where two investigators study the same research question, please search our database to determine if your topic has already been studied. If you find that your topic or a related topic has already been submitted, you may wish to contact the investigator to inquire about his/her findings to determine how you might proceed. You may wish to collaborate or modify your request to avoid overlap. The results below reflect requests made since online requests have been accepted. As such, not all fields will have data as certain information, such as aims, were not collected until recently. If an entry has been assigned an ID # (e.g. DIAN-T1004), the full request has been submitted and is either approved, disapproved or in process.

Title:

Apolipoprotein E isoform levels and their relevance to the development of AD pathology

Date of Request:

03/11/2020

Aim 1:

By use of mass-spectrometry assess and compare the individual apolipoprotein E isoform levels in plasma and CSF from familial AD patients versus controls

Aim 2:

To investigate whether fluid levels of apolipoprotein E are related to the estimated year of disease onset, CSF and imaging AD biomarkers in familial AD patients

Aim 3:

To elucidate a potential correlation between plasma apolipoprotein E levels and previously assessed CSF alpha-synuclein levels whereof the latter appeared related to amyloid-beta deposition and symptom onset

Title:

Blood-brain barrier dysfunction in autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease (ADAD)

Date of Request:

02/09/2020

Aim 1:

To evaluate the effects of ADAD mutations on the molecular biomarkers of NVU and BBB dysfunction in PSEN1 and other ADAD pre-symptomatic and symptomatic MCs compared to non-MC carriers, and determine how they relate to each other, and whether NVU/BBB dysfunction can contribute to cognitive impairment and other pathologies in ADAD.
