BACKGROUND: With China’s rapidly aging population, addressing the health management of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in community settings has become crucial for dementia prevention. This study focuses on developing an integrated primary care intervention (IPC) within primary care system to support home-dwelling older adults with MCI and explore the underlying barriers based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to the implementation and further scale up of the IPC...

The progressive accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the biochemical mechanisms of their formation and the consequences associated with plaque formation remain elusive. In female 5xFAD and APP^(NL-G-F) mice, we map region-specific, plaque-associated lipids with large molecular coverage including isomers. We describe a multimodal framework that integrates matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization with laser-induced postionization...

Prime editing offers versatile genome modifications with therapeutic potential; yet its use to modulate neural circuitry remains underexplored. Here, we used adeno-associated viral vectors to deliver prime editors into the mouse brain and introduced the naturally occurring Adrb1^(A187V) variant of the β1-adrenergic receptor, linked to short sleep in humans and mice. Editing reached up to 28.1% in the cortex six months after intracerebroventricular injection and increased excitability of...
