Abstract

Functional brain network alterations associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology, including amyloid beta (Aβ) and phosphorylated tau (p‐tau), are difficult to interpret due to overlapping aging‐associated and non‐amyloid biological processes.

Plasma p‐tau217 detects Alzheimer's disease co‐pathology in cerebral amyloid angiopathy: Comparison to CSF biomarkers in the ANGMAR cohort

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) frequently co‐occurs with Alzheimer's disease (AD), generating mixed vascular–neurodegenerative phenotypes. Plasma phosphorylated tau (p‐tau)217 is a robust biomarker of AD, but its performance in CAA remains unclear.

Brain morphometry patterns in the presence of Alzheimer's disease and/or LATE neuropathologic changes

Alzheimer's disease neuropathologic change (ADNC) and limbic‐predominant age‐related transactive response DNA‐binding protein 43 kDa (TDP‐43) encephalopathy neuropathologic change (LATENC) are common in older adults, yet differences in brain morphometry patterns when one or both pathologies are present remain unclear.

Beyond amyloid: Contributions of neuroinflammation, cerebrovascular disease, and neurodegeneration to memory impairment in the oldest‐old, the LifeAfter90 Study

Neuroinflammatory processes may play a central role in promoting mixed pathologies and cognitive impairment in the oldest‐old. We hypothesize that elevated neuroinflammation, indicated by reactive astrocytosis, acts on cerebrovascular disease and separately, on amyloid beta (Aβ) pathology, to promote downstream medial temporal lobe atrophy and memory impairment.

Regional astrocyte dysregulation and altered glymphatic‐related markers in Alzheimer's disease frontal cortex

Astrocyte dysfunction is central to Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet expression patterns of astrocytic markers remain poorly defined. We measured Aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in post‐mortem frontal cortex of AD patients and controls across BrainNet Europe (BNE) stages.

Amyloidogenic Amylin Signaling Links Diabetes to Dementia Pathogenesis

Recent studies identify amyloidogenic human amylin, secreted from pancreas, as a potential link between type-2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Evidence suggests that pathogenic amylin signaling impairs cerebral bioenergetics, promoting tau hyperphosphorylation and neurodegeneration. Selective targeting of circulating amyloidogenic amylin and its pathogenic signaling may enable biomarker development and disease-modifying therapies.
