Article Synopsis
  • Recent transcriptomics studies show increased interferon (IFN) responses in various neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, highlighting these responses in both microglia and T cells.
  • The literature indicates that abnormal IFN signaling is also linked to neuropsychiatric disorders like major depression and PTSD.
  • This review aims to summarize findings about IFN responses in neurodegeneration, discuss how sex and ancestry influence these responses, and explore potential reasons for elevated antiviral IFN signaling in neurological and psychiatric conditions without viral involvement.

Introduction: This study was aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and advantages of the use of transurethral intraprostatic anesthesia (TUIA) using Schelin Catheter (SC) in patients undergoing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP).

Material And Methods: TUIA was performed using SC, a catheter equipped with an operative channel with a retractile needle, a standard drainage outlet, and a balloon port. After inserting the SC into the patient's urethra and filling the balloon to anchor it in the bladder neck, four target injections with local anesthetic were performed, one in each quadrant in the base area of the prostate.

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration with neuronal inclusions of the TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (FTLD-TDP) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder with only a limited number of risk loci identified. We report our comprehensive genome-wide association study as part of the International FTLD-TDP Whole-Genome Sequencing Consortium, including 985 cases and 3,153 controls, and meta-analysis with the Dementia-seq cohort, compiled from 26 institutions/brain banks in the United States, Europe and Australia. We confirm as the strongest overall FTLD-TDP risk factor and identify as a novel FTLD-TDP risk factor.

Introduction: Altered immune signatures are emerging as a central theme in neurodegenerative disease, yet little is known about immune responses in early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD).

Methods: We examined single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) data from CD4 T cells from participants with EOAD and clinically normal controls.

Results: We analyzed PBMCs from 16 individuals by scRNA-seq and discovered increased interferon signaling-associated gene (ISAG) expression and striking expansion of antiviral-like ISAG T cells in EOAD.

Methods: We examined single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and droplet digital (dd)PCR data from CD4 T cells from participants with EOAD and clinically normal controls.

Results: We analyzed ~182,000 PBMCs by scRNA-seq and discovered increased interferon signaling-associated gene (ISAG) expression and striking expansion of antiviral-like ISAG T cells in EOAD.
