Epithelial Cell Transformation and Senescence as Indicators of Genome Aging: Current Advances and Unanswered Questions

Masatoshi Kitakaze, Ryota Chijimatsu, Andrea Vecchione, Toru Kitagawa, Yuichiro Doki, Hidetoshi Eguchi, Hideshi Ishii

Summary: Recent advances in deciphering the human genome have allowed a better understanding of age-associated transformations, including gene functional interactions and the impact of single cell mechanisms on aging and disease. Genomic age is defined by a combination of inherited and acquired genetic traits, influenced by internal and external factors, leading to diseases such as cancer and cell degeneration.

Etiology and Clinical Significance of Network Hyperexcitability in Alzheimer's Disease: Unanswered Questions and Next Steps

Niyatee Samudra, Kamalini Ranasinghe, Heidi Kirsch, Katherine Rankin, Bruce Miller

Summary: Cortical network hyperexcitability in Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be targeted for therapeutic intervention. There is growing interest in studying the prevalence of subclinical epileptiform activity (SEA) in AD patients, including silent seizures and interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs). SEA has been found to be common in AD, with estimates ranging between 22-54%. Modifying the hyperexcitable state in patients with AD may improve cognition, and recent clinical trial results suggest a therapeutic effect with levetiracetam administration. Further research is needed to define screening criteria, optimal screening methods, and personalized therapeutic intervention.

Unanswered questions of anesthesia neurotoxicity in the developing brain

Caleb Ing, Laszlo Vutskits

Summary: This article reviews recent advances and controversies in developmental anesthesia neurotoxicity research, focusing on unanswered questions in both clinical and preclinical perspectives. Studies have reported mixed evidence of prenatal and early childhood exposure to anesthesia being associated with impaired neurodevelopment, with more subtle deficits in specific cognitive domains. Although the question of whether anesthetic agents cause long-term neurodevelopmental effects in children is still unanswered, recent studies provide guidance for further research to inform clinical decision-making in children. Evaluation: 8/10

Positive attitudes toward clinical trials among military veterans leaves unanswered questions about poor trial accrual

Grace Clarke Hillyer, Yeun-Hee Anna Park, Ta-Chueh Hsu Rosenberg, Prabhjot Mundi, Imtiaz Patel, Susan E. Bates

Summary: Veterans show positive attitudes towards participating in clinical trials, especially when it may improve cancer treatment for fellow Veterans. Recommendations for approaching Veterans for clinical trial participation include providing education tailored to their literacy level, involving VA primary care providers in decision-making, and tapping into Veterans' altruistic motivations.

Principles and open questions in functional brain network reconstruction

Onerva Korhonen, Massimiliano Zanin, David Papo

Summary: Graph theory is becoming a standard tool in system-level neuroscience, but the theoretical assumptions and methodological choices involved in representing brain anatomy and dynamics as complex networks can impact the reconstruction of networks from experimental data. By reviewing fundamental concepts and technical issues related to brain network reconstruction, we discuss how their mutual influence helps clarify the organization of brain function.

Individualized luteal phase support after fresh embryo transfer: unanswered questions, a review

Jing Zhao, Jie Hao, Yanping Li

Summary: Luteal phase support (LPS) is crucial for embryo implantation in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Recent studies have shown the importance of individualized LPS protocols in fresh embryo transfer cycles, depending on whether hCG or GnRH-a trigger is used. The optimal timing for starting LPS and the combination with progesterone or hCG varies based on different trigger methods.

Toward interpretability of machine learning methods for the classification of patients with major depressive disorder based on functional network measures

Andrey V. Andreev, Semen A. Kurkin, Drozdstoy Stoyanov, Artem A. Badarin, Rossitsa Paunova, Alexander E. Hramov

Summary: In this study, the interpretability of a machine learning algorithm for discriminating between patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and healthy controls using functional networks was addressed. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) was applied to the data and a combined approach for feature selection was proposed. The study revealed that certain features of the functional networks allowed accurate discrimination between the two groups in a multidimensional feature space.

Advances in Brain Imaging Techniques for Patients With Intractable Epilepsy

Mubarak Algahtany, Ahmed Abdrabou, Ahmed Elhaddad, Abdulrahman Alghamdi

Summary: Intractable epilepsy, affecting nearly one-third of epilepsy patients, presents a major challenge. Surgical intervention may be considered for these patients, highlighting the importance of advanced imaging techniques in preoperative assessment, particularly for cases where routine MRI shows no abnormality. Accurate identification of epileptogenic foci and clear delineation of relevant brain structures are crucial to avoid postoperative complications.

Summary: This study aims to identify AD-specific metabolomic changes and their potential upstream genetic and transcriptional regulators through an integrative systems biology framework. The findings suggest that short-chain acylcarnitines/amino acids and medium/long-chain acylcarnitines are most associated with AD clinical outcomes. Integration of gene expression data reveals ABCA1 and CPT1A are involved in regulating acylcarnitines and amino acids in AD.

McDonald, Sunita K. Patel, James C. Root, Andrew J. Saykin, Kathleen Van Dyk, Xingtao Zhou, Jeanne Mandelblatt, Florence Joly

Summary: Pooled individual-level data from two large prospective studies of older breast cancer survivors showed that older women who received taxane-based chemotherapy did not experience greater declines in cognitive performance or well-being compared to women receiving other chemotherapy regimens. Despite being at greater risk for negative outcomes, treatment with taxane-based chemotherapies did not exacerbate these health consequences for older cancer survivors.

Altered cerebral blood flow in older adults with Alzheimer's disease: a systematic review

Cecily G. Swinford, Shannon L. Risacher, Yu-Chien Wu, Liana G. Apostolova, Sujuan Gao, Paula J. Bice, Andrew J. Saykin

Summary: The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in the U.S. is expected to reach 13 million by 2050. Currently, there are no treatments available to stop or reverse the progressive cognitive decline associated with the disease. Preventive treatment before significant cognitive decline occurs may be the solution, but there is a need for a reliable biomarker to identify older adults at highest risk. Quantitative cerebral blood flow shows promise as a potential early biomarker for Alzheimer's disease, but further research is needed to fully understand the patterns of altered blood flow.

Summary: This study found that genetics may play an important role in modifying risk for cognitive decline in older female breast cancer survivors. Several genetic variants and genes were identified to be associated with differences in patterns of cognitive decline in cancer patients compared to controls. Further research and validation of these findings in other cancer populations is necessary to inform therapeutic research and evaluations of risk for cognitive decline in older cancer survivors.
