Microglial pruning of glycinergic synapses disinhibits spinal PKCγ interneurons to drive pain hypersensitivity in mice.

Science translational medicine
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...

Assessing the cardioprotective effects of exercise in APOE mouse models using deep learning and photon-counting micro-CT.

PloS one
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...

Developing multifactorial dementia prediction models using clinical variables from cohorts in the US and Australia.

Translational psychiatry
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...

Assessing polyomic risk to predict Alzheimer's disease using a machine learning model.

Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association
INTRODUCTION: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly. Given that AD neuropathology begins decades before symptoms, there is a dire need for effective screening tools for early detection of AD to facilitate early i...

Tackling APOE's structural challenges via in silico modeling in the era of neural networks: Can AlphaFold II help circumvent the problem of lacking full-length protein structure?

Archives of biochemistry and biophysics
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...

Predicting conversion to Alzheimer's disease in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment using clinically transferable features.

Scientific reports
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...

Deep learning-based quantification of abdominal fat on magnetic resonance images.

PloS one
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...

Icariin improves eNOS/NO pathway to prohibit the atherogenesis of apolipoprotein E-null mice.

Canadian journal of physiology and pharmacology
Impaired endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)/nitric oxide (NO) pathway induces atherogenesis. The present study examined whether icariin improves the eNOS/NO pathway to prohibit the atherogenesis of apolipoprotein E-null (ApoE) mice. In vitro, p...
