🤯 Postmortem vs Living brain
Due to the unavailability of brain tissue from living people, most such studies are performed using tissue from postmortem brain.
"Expression levels differed significantly for nearly 80% of genes,"🤯

Excited to share our new paper! We mapped proteomic changes in AD mouse models, revealing shared pathways with human AD and delayed protein turnover in amyloid plaques. Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #MassSpec #Proteinturnover #AlzheimersResearch #omics #proteomics
Human and mouse proteomics reveals the shared pathways in Alzheimer’s disease and delayed protein turnover in the amyloidome - Nature Communications
This study maps proteomic changes in Alzheimer’s mouse models, identifying shared pathways with humans, amyloid-driven protein turnover, and proteome-transcriptome differences, offering insights into ...
