Soluble Aβ pathology predicts neurodegeneration and cognitive decline independently on p-tau in the earliest Alzheimer's continuum: Evidence across two independent cohorts
Alzheimer's & DementiaAbstractIntroduction: Identifying the link between early Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathological changes and neurodegeneration in asymptomatic individuals may lead to the discovery of preventive strategies. We...

The CSF p-tau/β-amyloid 42 ratio correlates with brain structure and fibrillary β-amyloid deposition in cognitively unimpaired individuals at the earliest stages of pre-clinical Alzheimer's disease.
Brain Commun.AbstractCSF concentrations of β-amyloid 42 (Aβ42) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) are well-established biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease and have been studied in relation to several neuropathological features...

Astroglial reactivity is a key modulator of Alzheimer's disease pathological progression
Brain: a journal of neurologyAbstractThis scientific commentary refers to ‘Association of glial fibrillary acid protein, Alzheimer's disease pathology and cognitive decline’ by Peretti et al. (https://doi.org/10.1093/brain/awae211).

Association between telomere length and cognitive function among cognitively unimpaired individuals at risk of Alzheimer's disease
Neurobiol AgingAbstractIntroduction: Leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is an objective biomarker of biological aging, and it is proposed to play a crucial role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. We aimed at evaluating the...

Physical activity changes during midlife link to brain integrity and amyloid burden
Alzheimer's & DementiaAbstractIntroduction: Evidence suggests that midlife physical activity may reduce Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. In at-risk individuals, we investigated midlife physical activity changes in relation to AD...

Is the association between blood pressure and cognition in the oldest-old modified by physical, vascular or brain pathology markers? The EMIF-AD 90 + Study
BMC Geriatr.AbstractBackground: Prior studies suggest a changing association between blood pressure (BP) and cognition with aging, however work in the oldest-old has yielded ambiguous results. Potentially, these mixed...

Quantification of [18 F]florbetaben amyloid-PET imaging in a mixed memory clinic population: The ABIDE project
Alzheimers DementAbstractIntroduction: We investigated amyloid-burden quantification in a mixed memory clinic population.
Methods: [18 F]Florbetaben amyloid-PET (positron emission tomography) scans of 348 patients were...

Differential effects of sleep on brain structure and metabolism at the preclinical stages of AD
Alzheimers DementAbstractIntroduction: Poor sleep quality is associated with cognitive outcomes in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We analyzed the associations between self-reported sleep quality and brain structure and function in...

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
ElifeAbstractBrain-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...
