Tau-immunoreactive astrocytes are well-known in elderly brains. In contrast, astrocytic plaques, a hallmark in corticobasal degeneration (CBD), rarely occur in aging and neurodegenerative disease other than CBD. To elucidate the clinicopathological correlation of aging-related pathology in CBD, we examined 21 pathologically proven CBD cases in our institute (12 males and 9 females, with a mean age of death 70.6 years). All CBD cases showed grains and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). Fifteen cases (71.4%) showed beta-amyloid deposition such as senile plaques or cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Three cases (14.3%) had Lewy body pathology. One case was classified as amygdala-predominant Lewy body disease, although no cases met the pathological criteria for Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Five cases (23.8%) displayed Limbic-predominant and age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE). NFTs, grains, and TDP-43-positive neuronal inclusions were widely distributed throughout the limbic system of CBD patients, but their densities were low. CBD might a have similar cell vulnerability and transmission pathway to that of multiple proteinopathy in aging brains.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25052740","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,27]],"date-time":"2024-02-27T11:52:55Z","timestamp":1709034775000},"page":"2740","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Age-Related Pathology in Corticobasal Degeneration"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Maya","family":"Mimuro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Mie University Hospital, Tsu 514-8507, Japan"},{"name":"Institute for Medical Science of Aging, Aichi Medical University, Nagakute 480-1195, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0059-3104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yasushi","family":"Iwasaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for Medical Science of Aging, Aichi Medical University, Nagakute 480-1195, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"505","DOI":"10.1007\/s00702-014-1288-x","article-title":"Challenges of multimorbidity of the aging brain: A critical update","volume":"122","author":"Jellinger","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
