nCounter®
Alzheimer’s Disease Panel
Helping Your Research
Easily assess and monitor primary molecular characteristics of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) with standardized genes covering clinically-derived AD-associated modules. Now AD expression studies can be more reproducible and translationally relevant with an efficient workflow that potentially reduces the time to clinic. Reliably assay AD phenotypes and disease progression for mouse model development and human tissue screening.
- 770 genes specific for AD studies
- Comprehensive assessment of 30 AD-associated gene co-expression modules including 23 neurodegeneration pathways and processes
- Reproducible monitoring of AD progression with age
- Functional screening of potential AD therapeutics
- Customizable with up to 55 additional user-defined genes with Panel Plus option
- nCounter workflow is streamlined, user-friendly, and efficient with just 15 minutes total hands-on time

Directly reprogrammed Huntington’s disease neural precursor cells generate striatal neurons exhibiting aggregates and impaired neuronal maturation.
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of striatal medium spiny neurons. Using a highly efficient protocol for direct reprogramming of adult human fibroblasts with chemically modified mRNA, we report the first generation of HD induced neural precursor cells (iNPs) expressing striatal lineage markers that differentiated into DARPP32+ neurons from individuals with adult-onset HD (41-57 CAG).
Acute inflammatory profiles differ with sex and age after spinal cord injury.
BACKGROUND: Sex and age are emerging as influential variables that affect spinal cord injury (SCI) recovery. Despite a changing demographic towards older age at the time of SCI, the effects of sex or age on inflammation remain to be elucidated.
The degree of astrocyte activation is predictive of the incubation time to prion disease.
In neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and prion diseases, astrocytes acquire disease-associated reactive phenotypes. With growing appreciation of their role in chronic neurodegeneration, the questions whether astrocytes lose their ability to perform homeostatic functions in the reactive states and whether the reactive phenotypes are neurotoxic or neuroprotective remain unsettled.
