The EC (entorhinal cortex) is fundamental for cognitive and mnesic functions. Thus damage to this area appears as a key element in the progression of AD (Alzheimer's disease), resulting in memory deficits arising from neuronal and synaptic alterations as well as glial malfunction. In this paper, we have performed an in-depth analysis of astroglial morphology in the EC by measuring the surface and volume of the GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) profiles in a triple transgenic mouse model of AD [3xTg-AD (triple transgenic mice of AD)]. We found significant reduction in both the surface and volume of GFAP-labelled profiles in 3xTg-AD animals from very early ages (1 month) when compared with non-Tg (non-transgenic) controls (48 and 54%, reduction respectively), which was sustained for up to 12 months (33 and 45% reduction respectively). The appearance of Lambda beta (amyloid beta-peptide) depositions at 12 months of age did not trigger astroglial hypertrophy; nor did it result in the close association of astrocytes with senile plaques. Our results suggest that the AD progressive cognitive deterioration can be associated with an early reduction of astrocytic arborization and shrinkage of the astroglial domain, which may affect synaptic connectivity within the EC and between the EC and other brain regions. In addition, the EC seems to be particularly vulnerable to AD pathology because of the absence of evident astrogliosis in response to A beta accumulation. Thus we can consider that targeting astroglial atrophy may represent a therapeutic strategy which might slow down the progression of AD.

[ES]El presente Trabajo Fin de Grado tiene como objetivo contribuir al desarrollo de diferentes técnicas de fresado de engranajes espiro cónicos mediante fresadoras genéricas de cinco ejes. El proyecto estará dividido en varias partes que incluirán: el diseño de la geometría de las piezas a mecanizar, el propio proceso de manufactura y su posterior metrología. Durante el transcurso del curso 2014-2015 se documentará y participará activamente en el desarrollo de dichas técnicas de fresado. Proceso que será dirigido por Álvaro Álvarez, doctorando del departamento de Mecánica de la Escuela Superior de Ingeniería de Bilbao. El objetivo principal es llegar a ser capaz de obtener piezas de gran complejidad en su diseño y proceso de fabricación, dentro de los márgenes de calidad exigidos por las normas pertinentes y mediante un proceso novedoso y competitivo a nivel internacional.
