    Evolutionary constraint and innovation across hundreds of placental mammals

    Science
    Abstract

    Zoonomia is the largest comparative genomics resource for mammals produced to date. By aligning genomes for 240 species, we identify bases that, when mutated, are likely to affect fitness and alter...

    Discovery of novel CSF biomarkers to predict progression in dementia using machine learning

    Sci Rep.
    Abstract

    Providing an accurate prognosis for individual dementia patients remains a challenge since they greatly differ in rates of cognitive decline. In this study, we used machine learning techniques with...

    Biological brain age prediction using machine learning on structural neuroimaging data: multi-cohort validation against biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease and neurodegeneration stratified by sex

    Elife
    Abstract

    Brain-age can be inferred from structural neuroimaging and compared to chronological age (brain-age delta) as a marker of biological brain aging. Accelerated aging has been found in neurodegenerative...

    Eigenvector centrality dynamics are related to Alzheimer's disease pathological changes in non-demented individuals

    Brain Commun.
    Abstract

    Amyloid-β accumulation starts in highly connected brain regions and is associated with functional connectivity alterations in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. This regional vulnerability is...

    Design of a Non-Interventional Study to Assess Neurologists' Perspectives and Pharmacological Treatment Decisions in Early Alzheimer's Disease

    Neurol Ther
    Abstract

    Introduction: The current therapeutic landscape of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is evolving rapidly. Our treatment options include new anti-amyloid-β protein disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) that...

    Blood-brain barrier integrity impacts the use of plasma amyloid-β as a proxy of brain amyloid-β pathology

    Alzheimers Dement
    Abstract

    Introduction: Amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau can be quantified in blood. However, biological factors can influence the levels of brain-derived proteins in the blood. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) regulates...

    Clinical performance and head-to-head comparison of CSF p-tau235 with p-tau181, p-tau217 and p-tau231 in two memory clinic cohorts

    Alzheimers Res Ther
    Abstract

    Background: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) p-tau235 is a novel biomarker highly specific of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, CSF p-tau235 has only been studied in well-characterized research cohorts...

    Neuroinflammatory CSF biomarkers MIF, sTREM1, and sTREM2 show dynamic expression profiles in Alzheimer's disease

    J Neuroinflammation
    Abstract

    Background: There is a need for novel fluid biomarkers tracking neuroinflammatory responses in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our recent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomics study revealed that migration...

    Polygenic risk scores enhance prediction of body mass index increase in individuals with a first episode of psychosis

    Eur Psychiatry
    Abstract

    Background: Individuals with a first episode of psychosis (FEP) show rapid weight gain during the first months of treatment, which is associated with a reduction in general physical health. Although...
