AIMS: Complex cellular communications between glial cells and neurons are critical for brain normal function and disorders, and single-cell level RNA-sequencing datasets display more advantages for analyzing cell communications. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically explore brain cell communications when considering factors such as sex and brain region. METHODS: We extracted a total of 1,039,459 cells derived from 28 brain single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) or single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) datasets from the GEO database, including 12 human and 16 mouse datasets...

Recent studies showed increased expression of complements in various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. However, the mechanism regulating the expression of complements and their roles in the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration are unclear. We hypothesized that acute neuroinflammation increases the expression and activation of brain complements, which, in turn, participate in chronic neuroinflammation and progressive neurodegeneration. We initially focused on the complement component C3, because C3 can activate microglia by binding to C3 receptors and attaching to damaged neurons destined to be phagocytosed by microglia...

Multi-source functional block-wise missing data arise more commonly in medical care recently with the rapid development of big data and medical technology, hence there is an urgent need to develop efficient dimension reduction to extract important information for classification under such data. However, most existing methods for classification problems consider high-dimensional data as covariates. In the paper, we propose a novel multinomial imputed-factor Logistic regression model with multi-source functional block-wise missing data as covariates...

Derangements of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) or blood-retinal barrier (BRB) occur in disorders ranging from stroke, cancer, diabetic retinopathy, and Alzheimer's disease. The Norrin/FZD4 /TSPAN12 pathway activates WNT/β-catenin signaling, which is essential for BBB and BRB function. However, systemic pharmacologic FZD4 stimulation is hindered by obligate palmitoylation and insolubility of native WNTs and suboptimal properties of the FZD4 -selective ligand Norrin. Here, we develop L6-F4-2, a non-lipidated, FZD4 -specific surrogate which significantly improves subpicomolar affinity versus native Norrin...

Individuals with Alzheimer Disease who develop psychotic symptoms (AD + P) experience more rapid cognitive decline and have reduced indices of synaptic integrity relative to those without psychosis (AD-P). We sought to determine whether the postsynaptic density (PSD) proteome is altered in AD + P relative to AD-P, analyzing PSDs from dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of AD + P, AD-P, and a reference group of cognitively normal elderly subjects. The PSD proteome of AD + P showed a global shift towards lower levels of all proteins relative to AD-P, enriched for kinases, proteins regulating Rho GTPases, and other regulators of the actin cytoskeleton...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a clinical phenotype characterized by asymmetric parkinsonism, rigidity, myoclonus, and apraxia. Originally thought secondary to corticobasal degeneration (CBD), mounting clinicopathologic studies have revealed heterogenous neuropathologies. The objectives of this study were to determine the pathologic heterogeneity of CBS, the clinicoradiologic findings associated with different underlying pathologies causing CBS, and the positive predictive value (PPV) of current diagnostic criteria for CBD amongst patients with a CBS...

Dementia and Alzheimer's disease crucially influence the images of advanced age and represent a significant framework for the construction of anxieties regarding aging. By drawing on twenty-five in-depth interviews with older adults (age 65+ years) living in the Czech Republic, in this study, the influences of dementia and Alzheimer's disease on older adults' narratives of expectations and worries pertaining to their aging and future are analyzed. Three distinct ways in which participants narrate personal concerns related to Alzheimer's disease and integrate the risk of developing such a condition into their representations of fears associated with old age were identified: 1) Dementia as a perceived immediate risk, 2) dementia as the metonym of the fourth age, and 3) dementia as a distant tragedy but not a personal worry...

There is an emerging call for new strengths-based measures to guide research, care, and support for persons living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Person-centered interventions have demonstrated a positive impact in global quality of life, but many promising approaches lack strengths-based measures with sufficient sensitivity to document relevant outcomes. Human centered design is an innovative method for person-centered instrument development. This paper describes a research process using Human Centered Design and highlights ethical principles considered during the translation of the design process to experiential world of Alzheimer's disease and related dementia...

PURPOSE: To reduce the burden of Alzheimer's disease, the use of assistive technologies for patients and their informal caregivers is considered essential. However, these technologies are made as "one size fits all" instead of being tailored to accommodate people with varying degrees of cognitive impairment and those with diverse races/ethnicities. Thus, the aim of this survey was to determine whether the types of assistance needed most, and the technology used by those with cognitive impairment differed by race (White/non-Hispanics, Black or African Americans, and Hispanic/Latinos or Puerto Ricans) and severity of dementia (mild, moderate, severe)...

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) play essential roles in vital aspects of brain functions. NMDARs mediate clinical features of neurological diseases and thus, represent a potential therapeutic target for their treatments. Many findings implicated the GluN2B subunit of NMDARs in various neurological disorders including epilepsy, ischemic brain damage, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's chorea, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Although a large amount of information is growing consistently on the importance of GluN2B subunit, however, limited recent data is available on how subunit-selective ligands impact NMDAR functions, which blunts the ability to render the diagnosis or craft novel treatments tailored to patients...
