The contribution of traumatic brain injury to Alzheimer’s disease progression by Zainal Azman, JAB

“…In conclusion, this study sheds light on a critical aspect of AD research, namely, the interplay between TBI and AD pathology. The findings suggest that in AD individuals, the dysregulated systemic APR triggered by TBI can exacerbate the progression of the disease, particularly in the presence of amyloid plaques. …”

Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in children and adolescents by Ratcliffe, H

NAD depletion mediates cytotoxicity in human neurons with autophagy deficiency

“…Boosting intracellular NAD levels improves cell viability by restoring mitochondrial bioenergetics and proteostasis in ATG5-/- neurons. Our findings elucidate a mechanistic link between autophagy deficiency and neuronal cell death that can be targeted for therapeutic interventions in neurodegenerative and lysosomal storage diseases associated with autophagic defect.…”

Developing a Psychometric Tool to Measure the Emotional Impact of Visual Content by Cucu, Theodor

“…In a separate group of human participants, we then estimate valence responses following short, random sequences of those images (of length ≤ 10). Our key finding is that these sequence-contingent valence responses can be closely predicted by a simple linear combination of the estimated human valence responses to individual images (held-out ρ = 0.94). …”
