Elevation of inactive cleaved annexin A1 in the neocortex is associated with amyloid, inflammatory and apoptotic markers in neurodegenerative dementias

Xin Ying Chua et al.

Summary: This study found that the failure of inflammation resolution may contribute to the development of neurodegenerative dementias. The elevated levels of cleaved Annexin A1 (AnxA1) in certain regions of the diseased brain were associated with amyloid pathology, neuroinflammation, and apoptosis.

Meta-analysis of epigenome-wide association studies in newborns and children show widespread sex differences in blood DNA methylation

Olivia Solomon et al.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis to investigate sex differences in DNA methylation in newborns and older children. The findings revealed numerous DNA methylation sites associated with sex in newborn blood, where most of these sites had lower methylation levels in males. Furthermore, the study replicated these findings in older children and identified additional autosomal sites with sex-specific differences in DNA methylation. These differentially methylated sites were enriched in genes associated with cancer, psychiatric disorders, and cardiovascular phenotypes.

Hypothesis: Tau pathology is an initiating factor in sporadic Alzheimer's disease

Amy F. T. Arnsten et al.

Summary: The etiology of common, sporadic Alzheimer's disease is unknown. The hypothesis proposed here suggests that tau pathology within specific projection neurons in susceptible microenvironments may initiate sAD, supported by data showing tau pathology appearing a decade before A beta plaques and targeting glutamate projection neurons.

Integrative functional genomic analysis of intron retention in human and mouse brain with Alzheimer's disease

Hong-Dong Li et al.

Summary: In this study, intron retention (IR) was found to play a role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) through genome-wide analysis of genetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data. Thousands of IR events were identified, along with differentially expressed genes associated with AD and splicing-related genes that may regulate IR. The findings provide a new resource for exploring new AD biomarkers and pathological mechanisms.

A new non-aggregative splicing isoform of human Tau is decreased in Alzheimer's disease

Vega Garcia-Escudero et al.

Summary: A new truncated form of Tau specific to humans has been discovered, with lower protein levels in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, potentially playing an important pathological role. This new Tau isoform exhibits similar post-translational modifications but is less prone to aggregation.

Visualization of neurofibrillary tangle maturity in Alzheimer's disease: A clinicopathologic perspective for biomarker research

Christina M. Moloney et al.

Summary: Neurofibrillary tangles, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, undergo a dynamic process of maturity that impacts neuron biology and cognitive function. The levels of maturity include pretangles, mature tangles, and ghost tangles, with distinct characteristics observed through tau protein immunostaining and morphologic changes. Post-translational modifications of tau play a significant role in therapeutic targeting strategies for cognitive dysfunction.

Anything but Ordinary - Emerging Splicing Mechanisms in Eukaryotic Gene Regulation

Niels H. Gehring et al.

Summary: Splicing of precursor mRNAs is essential for eukaryotic gene expression, with accurate identification of splice sites and intron removal being crucial for producing desired mRNA isoforms. Recent research has uncovered noncanonical splicing mechanisms that play key roles in gene expression regulation, in addition to well-understood basic splicing regulation mechanisms.

Alzheimer disease

David S. Knopman et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive impairments. The pathophysiology involves a complex interplay of loss of synaptic homeostasis and dysfunction in endosomal/lysosomal clearance pathways. Therapeutic options are still being sought to substantially alter the clinical course of individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
