Microglial activation is linked to neuroinflammation in neuropathic pain. Recently, microglia-mediated synaptic pruning has received mounting attention. However, the exact role of spinal microglia in modulating neuropathic pain-associated neural circ...
BACKGROUND: The allelic variations of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene play a critical role in regulating lipid metabolism and significantly impact cardiovascular disease risk (CVD). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of exercise on cardiac stru...
Existing dementia prediction models using non-neuroimaging clinical measures have been limited in their ability to identify disease. This study used machine learning to re-examine the diagnostic potential of clinical measures for dementia. Data was s...

The APOE gene, encoding apolipoprotein E, is a predictor of longevity and age-related diseases. Despite numerous genetic studies, the data on molecular mechanisms by which apolipoprotein E affects the human phenotype remain incomplete due to the stru...
Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) have an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Early identification of underlying neurodegenerative processes is essential to provide treatment before the disease is well established in the brain. He...

INTRODUCTION: To test the utility of the "A/T/N" system in the Chinese population, we study core Alzheimer's disease (AD) biomarkers in a newly established Chinese cohort.
Obesity is increasingly prevalent and associated with increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an accurate method for determination of body fat volume and distribution. How...
BACKGROUND: This study specifically focused on anatomical MRI characterization of the low shear stress-induced atherosclerotic plaque in mice. We used machine learning algorithms to analyze multiple correlation factors of plaque to generate predictiv...
