The Role of Microglia in Neuroinflammation: Metabolic and Gender Differences in Aging Research Background Aging is a major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Parkinson’s Disease. Even healthy aging is accompanied by a decline in cognitive function. Previous research has indicated that microglia undergo s...

Analysis and Potential Applications of miRNAs Related to Alzheimer’s Disease Background and Research Motivation Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressively worsening neurodegenerative disorder and the most common form of dementia among the elderly. The pathological features of AD in the brain primarily include senile plaques formed by the accumulat...

Changes in Growth-Associated Protein 43 and Tensor-Based Morphometric Indicators in Mild Cognitive Impairment Research Background Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a globally prevalent neurodegenerative disease whose incidence is expected to increase significantly in the coming years (Esquerda-Canals et al., 2017). The disease primarily manifests as defe...

Research Report Titled “Comprehensive Evaluation of TDP-43 Neuropathology Data in the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center Database” Research Background TDP-43 proteinopathy is a significant neuropathological feature in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-TDP), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS-TDP), and age-related limbic TDP-43 encephalo...

Study of Tau Protein Accumulation in Brain Vasculature in Alzheimer’s Disease Background Introduction Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by neurodegeneration, with primary pathological features including amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs). These tangles are composed of tau protein, and these pathological changes are closely relate...
