The therapeutic potential of early exercise in Alzheimer's disease: Focus on the brain-spleen axis

2 weeks 5 days ago
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the predominant cause of cognitive dysfunction, with global prevalence increasing annually. AD progression is principally driven by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) and hyperphosphorylated microtubule-associated protein tau (p-Tau), which trigger a subsequent cascade of neuroinflammatory responses within the central nervous system (CNS). This pathological cascade is regulated by reciprocal CNS-peripheral immune crosstalk. The brain-spleen axis has emerged as a...

Laminar organization of pyramidal neuron cell types defines distinct CA1 hippocampal subregions

2 weeks 5 days ago
Investigating the cell type organization of hippocampal CA1 is essential for understanding its role in memory and cognition and its susceptibility to neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. Multiple studies have identified different organizational principles for gene expression and how it reflects cell types within the CA1 pyramidal layer including gradients or mosaic. Here, we identify sublaminar gene expression patterns within the mouse CA1 pyramidal layer that span...

27-Hydroxycholesterol triggers microglial senescence subsequent to iron over-loading contributes to brain aging, suppressed by Deferoxamine

2 weeks 5 days ago
Brain aging is a major factor in cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. Aging-induced microglial senescence critically drives inflammaging and brain aging processes. Nevertheless, the underlying reasons and mechanisms that promote microglial aging remain unclear. This study explores how 27-hydroxycholesterol (27-OHC), a key oxysterol, accelerates brain aging by promoting microglial senescence, iron overload, and neuroinflammation. Clinically, we observed a significant...

Protective ApoE variants support neuronal function by effluxing oxidized phospholipids

2 weeks 5 days ago
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) mediates the bidirectional transport of lipids between cells. In the brain, this includes the transfer of lipids from neurons to glia. ApoE4, a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, impairs this transport pathway, increasing risk for neurodegeneration. ApoE2 and ApoE3 Christchurch (ApoE3Ch) confer resistance to disease, yet little is known regarding how these variants affect lipid trafficking. Here, we explored how lipoprotein particles containing different ApoE...

The effect of shingles vaccination at different stages of the dementia disease course

2 weeks 5 days ago
Using natural experiments, we have previously reported that live-attenuated herpes zoster (HZ) vaccination appears to have prevented or delayed dementia diagnoses in both Wales and Australia. Here, we find that HZ vaccination also reduces mild cognitive impairment diagnoses and, among patients living with dementia, deaths due to dementia. Exploratory analyses suggest that the effects are not driven by a specific dementia type. Our approach takes advantage of the fact that individuals who had...
