McKetney Publishes “Proteomic Atlas of the Human Brain in Alzheimer’s Disease”

Justin McKetney et. al. recently published a paper on neurodegenerative diseases of the brain, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry, the group identified a core brain proteome where substantial differences were identified between previous proteomic studies of mature adult brains and their aged cohort. These findings suggest considerable value in examining specifically the brain proteome of aged human populations and can serve as a guide for how specific regions of the brain are affected by aging and neurodegeneration.
