What molecular mechanisms underlie the differential gene expression patterns between DLB and PDD despite shared Lewy body pathology?

OPEN

The study identifies 1,864 differentially expressed genes between DLB and PDD, but the mechanistic basis for these transcriptional differences remains unexplained. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing subtype-specific therapeutic approaches for Lewy body dementias.
