Proteomic Indicators of Health Predict Alzheimer's Disease Biomarker Levels and Dementia Risk
Abstract
Few studies have comprehensively examined how health and disease risk influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers. The present study examined the association of 14 protein‐based health indicators with plasma and neuroimaging biomarker...

Skeletal muscle mitochondrial function predicts cognitive impairment and is associated with biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease and neurodegeneration
Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in the pathophysiology of many chronic diseases. Whether it is related to cognitive impairment and pathological markers is unknown.

Molecular signatures of normal pressure hydrocephalus: a large-scale proteomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid
Abstract
Given the persistent challenge of differentiating idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (iNPH) from similar clinical entities, we conducted an in-depth proteomic study of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in 28 shunt-responsive iNPH patients...

VICTR: Venous transit time imaging by changes in T1 relaxation
Abstract
Abnormalities in cerebral veins are a common finding in many neurological diseases, yet there is a scarcity of MRI techniques to assess venous hemodynamic function. The present study aims to develop a noncontrast technique to measure a ...

Association of Plasma Markers of Alzheimer’s Disease, Neurodegeneration, and Neuroinflammation with the Choroid Plexus Integrity in Aging
Abstract
The choroid plexus (CP) is a vital brain structure essential for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production. Moreover, alterations in the CP’s structure and function are implicated in molecular conditions and neuropathologies including multip...

Neuronal pentraxin 2 correlates with neurodegeneration but not cognition in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH).
Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY
Neuronal pentraxin-2 (NPTX2) is a synaptic protein responsible for modulating plasticity at excitatory synapses. While the role of NPTX2 as a novel synaptic biomarker in cognitive disorders has been elucidated recently,...

Proteomics identifies potential immunological drivers of postinfection brain atrophy and cognitive decline
Abstract
Infections have been associated with the incidence of Alzheimer disease and related dementias, but the mechanisms responsible for these associations remain unclear. Using a multicohort approach, we found that influenza, viral, respirato...
