Rhesus monkeys as a translational model for late-onset Alzheimer's disease

Dylan C. Souder, Isabelle A. Dreischmeier, Alex B. Smith, Samantha Wright, Stephen A. Martin, Md Abdul Kader Sagar, Kevin W. Eliceiri, Shahriar M. Salamat, Barbara B. Bendlin, Ricki J. Colman, T. Mark Beasley, Rozalyn M. Anderson

Summary: Age is a major risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease, and differences in the amyloid plaque microenvironment and the impact of AD pathology on local metabolism and inflammation vary among species, potentially explaining differences in neurodegeneration and functional decline. Using brain tissue from transgenic mice, rhesus monkeys, and human subjects, altered energetics in the plaque microenvironment were observed, highlighting the advantage of nonhuman primates in modeling the disease.

Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in Black and non-Hispanic White cohorts: A contextualized review of the evidence

Carey E. Gleason, Megan Zuelsdorff, Diane C. Gooding, Amy J. H. Kind, Adrienne L. Johnson, Taryn T. James, Nickolas H. Lambrou, Mary F. Wyman, Fred B. Ketchum, Alexander Gee, Sterling C. Johnson, Barbara B. Bendlin, Henrik Zetterberg

Summary: This review discusses the disproportionate impact of dementia on Black Americans and examines AD biomarkers using two influential frameworks, NIA-AA and NIA's Health Disparities Research Framework. Recommendations are made to expand studies beyond racial differences, emphasizing the importance of life course experiences and study enrollment practices in explaining observations.

Genetic influence on resting state networks in young male and female adults: a cartographer mapping study

Arman P. Kulkarni, Gyujoon Hwang, Cole J. Cook, Rosaleena Mohanty, Akhil Guliani, Veena A. Nair, Barbara B. Bendlin, Elizabeth Meyerand, Vivek Prabhakaran

Summary: In this study, a unique approach based on variance analyses was proposed to investigate the genetic influence on individual differences in brain functional connectivity. The findings suggest that genetic factors play a larger role in brain functional connectivity in males, while environmental factors have a greater impact in females. Moreover, the study reveals that environmental influences on individual differences may outweigh genetic influences in the frontal and overall brain regions.

Incidental Findings from 16,400 Brain MRI Examinations of Research Volunteers

Summary: This study investigated 16,400 brain MRIs and found that incidental findings are common, ranging from trivial to life-threatening. Formal neuroradiologist interpretation yielded more reliable results compared to spontaneous detection by nonradiology scanning staff.

Neuroimaging of tissue microstructure as a marker of neurodegeneration in the AT(N) framework: defining abnormal neurodegeneration and improving prediction of clinical status

Chin, Sanjay Asthana, Gwendlyn Kollmorgen, Ivonne Suridjan, Cynthia M. Carlsson, Sterling C. Johnson, Douglas C. Dean III, Henrik Zetterberg, Kaj Blennow, Andrew L. Alexander, Barbara B. Bendlin

Summary: This study demonstrates that neurodegeneration-related markers can be detected among cognitively unimpaired individuals, and that these markers can capture early Alzheimer's disease pathology in individuals who are positive for A/T biomarkers but have normal cognitive function.

Summary: There were no significant differences in myelin content between patients with temporal lobe epilepsy and the control group.

Blazing a trail for the clinical use of rapamycin as a geroprotecTOR

Adam R. Konopka, Dudley W. Lamming

Summary: Rapamycin, an inhibitor of mTORC1, has been shown to extend lifespan and prevent age-related diseases in various model systems. However, concerns over its side effects have limited its translation to humans. Studies suggest that the negative effects of rapamycin are associated with off-target inhibition of mTORC2. Therapeutic windows and alternatives to rapamycin are being explored to achieve more selective inhibition of mTORC1. Ongoing clinical trials aim to address safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of rapamycin and its analogs, providing important information for future phase 3 trials.

Carlsson, Sanjay Asthana, Nicholas J. Ashton, Sterling C. Johnson, Leslie M. Shaw, Kaj Blennow, Ulf Andreasson, Barbara B. Bendlin, Henrik Zetterberg

Summary: The study aims to estimate the prevalence of CSF A-T+ biomarker profile and investigate its clinical implications. The results suggest that A-T+ biomarker profile is found in approximately 5% of lumbar punctures and is not associated with a higher rate of cognitive decline or biomarker signs of disease progression compared with biomarker-negative individuals.

Associations between diffusion MRI microstructure and cerebrospinal fluid markers of Alzheimer's disease pathology and neurodegeneration along the Alzheimer's disease continuum

Jason F. Moody, Douglas C. Dean, Steve R. Kecskemeti, Kaj Blennow, Henrik Zetterberg, Gwendlyn Kollmorgen, Ivonne Suridjan, Norbert Wild, Cynthia M. Carlsson, Sterling C. Johnson, Andrew L. Alexander, Barbara B. Bendlin

Summary: This study found widespread white matter injury in AD patients, with robust associations between DWI metrics and AD pathology markers. MAP-MRI had more diffuse relationships with pTau compared to other DWI models. These results suggest that white matter degeneration may be more pervasive in AD and that MAP-MRI could provide clinically viable biomarkers of neurodegeneration in the early stages of AD.

Summary: Dynamic causal modelling showed that tau pathology is associated with changes in connectivity and excitability of specific brain regions. This affects auditory perception and may be an early indicator of dementia.
