Bayesian Tensor Modeling for Image-Based Classification of Alzheimer's Disease

Image Classification Based on Bayesian Tensor Modeling for Alzheimer’s Disease Introduction Neuroimaging research is a crucial component of contemporary neuroscience, significantly enhancing our understanding of brain structure and function. Through these non-invasive visualization techniques, researchers can more accurately predict the risk of cer...

Cleavage site-directed antibodies reveal the prion protein in humans is shed by ADAM10 at Y226 and associates with misfolded protein deposits in neurodegenerative diseases

ADAM10-Mediated Human Prion Protein Cleavage and Its Relationship with Neurodegenerative Diseases Background The endopeptidic processing of multifunctional proteins is crucial for regulating their physiological functions and plays a significant role in various pathological conditions. Prion protein (PrP), a widely expressed glycosylphosphatidylinos...

Differences in the Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Proteome in Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment

Differences in the Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy Proteome in Alzheimer's Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a disease caused by the deposition of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in cerebral blood vessels. It is common not only in the elderly and almost all patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) but can also occur independently of other AD-related pathologies. The presence and severity of CAA promote the progression of AD-related cl...

Disease Staging of Alzheimer's Disease Using a CSF-Based Biomarker Model

Research Background and Objectives With over 50 million people worldwide affected by cognitive impairment disorders, this number is expected to double by 2050. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, characterized by extracellular amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and intracellular tau protein aggregates in the brain. Over the past tw...

Mapping Medically Relevant RNA Isoform Diversity in the Aged Human Frontal Cortex with Deep Long-Read RNA-Seq

Academic Background RNA isoforms play a critical role in gene expression regulation. On average, human protein-coding genes contain over eight RNA isoforms, leading to nearly four distinct protein-coding sequences. Traditional short-read sequencing technologies, due to their limitations in read length, cannot accurately assemble and quantify RNA is...
