Imaging Biomarkers of Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s Disease

Multimodal Neuroimaging Study on Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s Disease Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder mainly characterized by motor impairments. However, cognitive impairment (CI), one of the non-motor symptoms, significantly affects patients’ quality of life. According to extensive epidemiological studies, ap...

Early-phase Tau-PET as a proxy of brain metabolism in Alzheimer’s disease: a comparison with 18F-FDG-PET and early-phase Amyloid-PET

Early-phase 18F-Flortaucipir Tau-PET as a Proxy for Brain Metabolism in Alzheimer’s Disease Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by extracellular β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition, intracellular pathological tau protein accumulation, and neurodegeneration. These pathological changes begin accumulating in ...

Therapeutic Effects of Combination of Nebivolol and Donepezil: Targeting Multifactorial Mechanisms in ALS

Report on ALS Treatment Study: Exploring the Multifaceted Mechanisms of Nebivolol and Donepezil Background and Research Objectives Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease marked by progressive loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord and brain, leading to severe muscle atrophy, functional decline, and eventual death...

Microglia-specific IL-10 Gene Delivery Inhibits Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration in a Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson’s Disease Mouse Model: IL-10 Gene Delivery Inhibits Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration As research into the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) deepens, the role of neuroinflammation in PD is gradually being revealed. This study by Simone Bido and his team, published in “Science Translational Medicine”, explores the effects of t...

GDF1 Ameliorates Cognitive Impairment Induced by Hearing Loss

Improvement of Cognitive Impairment Induced by Hearing Loss Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common dementia characterized by extracellular amyloid plaques formed by aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles formed by aggregated tau protein. Epidemiological studies indicate a close correlation between hearing l...
