Image Classification Based on Bayesian Tensor Modeling for Alzheimer’s Disease Introduction Neuroimaging research is a crucial component of contemporary neuroscience, significantly enhancing our understanding of brain structure and function. Through these non-invasive visualization techniques, researchers can more accurately predict the risk of cer...
ADAM10-Mediated Human Prion Protein Cleavage and Its Relationship with Neurodegenerative Diseases Background The endopeptidic processing of multifunctional proteins is crucial for regulating their physiological functions and plays a significant role in various pathological conditions. Prion protein (PrP), a widely expressed glycosylphosphatidylinos...
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a disease caused by the deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in cerebral blood vessels. It is common not only in the elderly and almost all patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) but can also occur independently of other AD-related pathologies. The presence and severity of CAA promote the progression of AD-related cl...
Research Background and Objectives With over 50 million people worldwide affected by cognitive impairment disorders, this number is expected to double by 2050. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, characterized by extracellular amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and intracellular tau protein aggregates in the brain. Over the past tw...
Academic Background RNA isoforms play a critical role in gene expression regulation. On average, human protein-coding genes contain over eight RNA isoforms, leading to nearly four distinct protein-coding sequences. Traditional short-read sequencing technologies, due to their limitations in read length, cannot accurately assemble and quantify RNA is...
Neuroimaging and Molecular Markers in Alzheimer’s Disease: Data-Driven Meta-Analysis Research Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease characterized mainly by progressive memory loss and cognitive impairment, making it the most common type of dementia. Neuronal loss, one of the primary hallmarks of AD, is closely a...
Report on the Association Between Single Value Brain Activity Scores and the Progression of Alzheimer’s Disease Introduction Among the elderly population, cognitive decline and brain structural changes are widespread, even among healthy individuals1-3. Episodic memory, crucial for storing, maintaining, and retrieving single-event memories4, is espe...
In recent years, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has become a significant health problem affecting the elderly population worldwide. Its related neuropathological changes can begin decades before the appearance of clinical symptoms. To explore more comprehensively the relationship between AD risk and brain morphology, a research team conducted a bidirecti...
This research explores the clinical value of plasma phosphorylated tau proteins (p-tau) 217 and 181 in assessing patients with mild cognitive impairment. Mild cognitive impairment may be a precursor stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and early detection and monitoring of disease progression are crucial for disease management. Research Background: A...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related chronic neurodegenerative disorder, whose pathological mechanism involves multiple factors, including brain inflammation. Microglia, particularly those expressing the AD risk gene TREM2, are believed to play a crucial role in the development of AD, but their exact contribution has not been fully elucidated...
