The emerging role of oxygen redox in pathological progression of disorders
Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington disease, pose serious threats to human health, leading to substantial economic burdens on society and families. Despite extensive research, the underlying mechanisms driving these diseases remain incompletely understood, impeding effective diagnosis and treatment. In recent years, growing evidence has highlighted the crucial role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of various neurodegenerative...
Association Between Multimorbidity and End-of-Life Outcomes Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults: Evidence From 28 Countries
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Our findings underscore the significant impact of multimorbidity on end-of-life experiences and highlight the importance of coordinated care strategies to address the complex needs of patients with multimorbidity and alleviate their symptom burden.
Genome-wide association study unravels mechanisms of brain glymphatic activity
Brain glymphatic activity, as indicated by diffusion-tensor imaging analysis along the perivascular space (ALPS) index, is involved in developmental neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases, but its genetic architecture is poorly understood. Here, we identified 17 unique genome-wide significant loci and 161 candidate genes linked to the ALPS-indexes in a discovery sample of 31,021 individuals from the UK Biobank. Seven loci were replicated in two independent datasets. Genetic signals...
