Unlocking the Genetic Secrets of Alzheimer’s: A Key to Early Diagnosis

Unlocking the secrets of Alzheimer’s disease is like unraveling a complex puzzle. Scientists have long identified genetic variants associated with AD, but understanding their significance has been challenging due to the strong linkage between these variants. To tackle this issue, researchers turned to transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) and employed the Joint-Tissue Imputation (JTI) approach in […]

Detecting Alzheimer’s in COVID-19 patients: A closer look at preclinical assessments

Imagine if you could detect the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease by simply sniffing a familiar scent. Well, according to a systematic review and expert consensus, olfaction is the most long-lasting impairment found in COVID-19 patients with post-acute syndrome (PACS). But here’s the catch – experts recommend that olfactory screening for Alzheimer’s should only be […]

Unveiling the Role of Neurovascular Coupling in Vascular Cognitive Impairment

Imagine a dedicated team of researchers diving deep into the intricate relationship between blood flow and cognitive function. In this study, they explore how this relationship, known as neurovascular coupling (NVC), is altered in patients with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Like a detective on a mission, they investigate the impact of white matter lesions (WML) […]
