Alosco ML, Tripodis Y, Jarnagin J, Baugh CM, Martin B, Chaisson CE, Estochen N, Song L, Cantu RC, Jeromin A, Stern RA.
PMID: 28229128
Alzheimers Dement (Amst). 2016 Dec 10;7:33-40. doi: 10.1016/j.dadm.2016.11.003. eCollection 2017.

INTRODUCTION: Blood protein analysis of total tau (t-tau) may be a practical screening biomarker for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative tauopathy associated with repetitive head impact (RHI) exposure. We examined plasma t-tau in symptomatic former National Football League...

OBJECTIVE: This study's aims are to identify whether or not a relationship between statin use and rate of cognitive decline exists.BACKGROUND: The relationship between statins and MCI has been investigated in the past with the evidence showing mixed results.METHODS:...

Structural Brain Network Changes across the Adult Lifespan.

Liu K, Yao S, Chen K, Zhang J, Yao L, Li K, Jin Z, Guo X.
PMID: 28860988
Front Aging Neurosci. 2017 Aug 17;9:275. doi: 10.3389/fnagi.2017.00275. eCollection 2017.

A number of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have shown age-related alterations in brain structural networks in different age groups. However, the specific age-associated changes in brain structural networks across the adult lifespan is underexplored. In the current study,...

Recent Perspectives on APP, Secretases, Endosomal Pathways and How they Influence Alzheimer's Related Pathological Changes in Down Syndrome.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease & Parkinsonism

Decourt B, Mobley W, Reiman E, Shah RJ, Sabbagh MN.
PMID: 24782952
J Alzheimers Dis Parkinsonism. 2013 Mar 20;002. doi: 10.4172/2161-0460.S7-002.

Down syndrome is one of the most common genetic conditions occurring in one in 700 live births. The trisomy of chromosome 21 causes over-expression of APP which in turn is indicated in the increased production of Aβ associated with...

Automatic gene prioritization in support of the inflammatory contribution to Alzheimer's disease.

AMIA Joint Summits on Translational Science proceedings. AMIA Joint Summits on Translational Science

Furniss SK, Yao R, Gonzalez G.
PMID: 25717399
AMIA Jt Summits Transl Sci Proc. 2014 Apr 07;2014:42-7. eCollection 2014.

This research seeks to extend the process of novel therapeutic gene target discovery for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Gene-gene and gene-pathway annotation tools as well as human analysis are used to explore likely connections between potential gene...

Secretory PLA2-IIA: a new inflammatory factor for Alzheimer's disease.

Journal of neuroinflammation

Moses GS, Jensen MD, Lue LF, Walker DG, Sun AY, Simonyi A, Sun GY.
PMID: 17026770
J Neuroinflammation. 2006 Oct 07;3:28. doi: 10.1186/1742-2094-3-28.

Secretory phospholipase A2-IIA (sPLA2-IIA) is an inflammatory protein known to play a role in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases. Although this enzyme has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, there has not been a direct...

Multiple cytokines are involved in the early events leading to the Alzheimer's disease pathology.

Tottori Rinsho Kagaku Kenkyukai shi

Wilberding A, Morimoto K, Satoh H, Harano K, Harano T, Arita S, Tooyama I, Konishi Y.
PMID: 22586434
Tottori Rinsho Kagaku Kenkyukai Shi. 2008;1(2):359-373.

It is likely that neuroinflammation begins well before detectable cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease (AD) occurs. Clarifying the alterations occurring prior to the clinical manifestation of overt AD dementia may provide valuable insight into the early diagnosis and management...

KIF6 719Arg Carrier Status Association with Homocysteine and C-Reactive Protein in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease Patients.

International journal of Alzheimer's disease

Malek-Ahmadi M, Patel A, Sabbagh MN.
PMID: 24455405
Int J Alzheimers Dis. 2013;2013:242303. doi: 10.1155/2013/242303. Epub 2013 Dec 24.

Recent research has demonstrated associations between statin use, KIF6 719Arg carrier status, and cholesterol levels and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. The association between 719Arg carrier status with homocysteine (tHcy) and c-reactive protein (CRP)...

Static and Dynamic Cognitive Reserve Proxy Measures: Interactions with Alzheimer's Disease Neuropathology and Cognition.

Journal of Alzheimer's disease & Parkinsonism

Malek-Ahmadi M, Lu S, Chan Y, Perez SE, Chen K, Mufson EJ.

OBJECTIVE: Years of education are the most common proxy for measuring cognitive reserve (CR) when assessing the relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) neuropathology and cognition. However, years of education may be limited as a CR proxy given that it...

Deep Learning based Classification of FDG-PET Data for Alzheimers Disease Categories.

Proceedings of SPIE--the International Society for Optical Engineering

Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) measures the decline in the regional cerebral metabolic rate for glucose, offering a reliable metabolic biomarker even on presymptomatic Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. PET scans provide functional information that is unique and unavailable...
