Association between near functional visual acuity and physical function in community-dwelling older adults: a cross-sectional study : Keio university global research Institute baseline survey

8 months ago
CONCLUSIONS: The study showed an association between quantitatively assessed visual and physical functions in community-dwelling older adults living in Japan. Thus, the findings indicate that maintaining and enhancing grip strength and visual function in older adults may be an important factor in leading a healthy and fulfilling life.

Intracellular accumulation of amyloid-ss is a marker of selective neuronal vulnerability in Alzheimer's disease

8 months ago
Defining how amyloid-β and pTau together lead to neurodegeneration is fundamental to understanding Alzheimer's disease (AD). We used imaging mass cytometry to identify neocortical neuronal subtypes lost with AD in post-mortem brain middle temporal gyri from non-diseased and AD donors. Here we showed that L5,6 RORB^(+)FOXP2^(+) and L3,5,6 GAD1^(+)FOXP2^(+) neurons, which accumulate amyloid-β intracellularly from early Braak stages, are selectively vulnerable to degeneration in AD, while L3...

An AI-assisted fluorescence microscopic system for screening mitophagy inducers by simultaneous analysis of mitophagic intermediates

8 months ago
Mitophagy, the selective autophagic elimination of mitochondria, is essential for maintaining mitochondrial quality and cell homeostasis. Impairment of mitophagy flux, a process involving multiple sequential intermediates, is implicated in the onset of numerous neurodegenerative diseases. Screening mitophagy inducers, particularly understanding their impact on mitophagic intermediates, is crucial for neurodegenerative disease treatment. However, existing techniques do not allow simultaneous...
