Article Synopsis
  • * The study involved 140 healthy older adults and 49 with mild cognitive impairment, using techniques like APOE genotyping and MRI to measure GSH levels in the brain.
  • * Findings indicated that higher GSH levels are more common in females, while older age and the presence of the APOE4 genotype are associated with increased amyloid levels, highlighting sex-specific differences in GSH levels among older adults.

Introduction: We investigated the interactive associations between amyloid and hypertension on the entorhinal cortex (EC) tau and atrophy and the role of cerebral blood flow (CBF) as a shared mechanism by which amyloid and hypertension contribute to EC tau and regional white matter hyperintensities (WMHs).

Methods: We analyzed data from older adults without dementia participating in the Add-Tau study (NCT02958670, n = 138) or Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) (n = 523) who had available amyloid-positron emission tomography (PET), tau-PET, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), and T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A subsample in both cohorts had available arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI (Add-Tau: n = 78; ADNI: n = 89).

Background: Receipt of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy at an institution different from the primary oncologist's institution is a complex, multistep process. Referral by oncologists plays an important role in the process but may be susceptible to bias.

Methods: Oncologists who previously referred patients for CAR-T therapy at 5 pediatric hospitals were sent surveys by email exploring their CAR-T referral practices.

Sequential ionization of fullerene cluster ions (C_{60})_{n}^{+} within multiply charged helium nanodroplets leads to the intriguing phenomenon of forming and stabilizing doubly and triply charged fullerene oligomers. While the formation of doubly charged dimers (C_{60})_{2}^{2+} has been predicted in earlier studies, the observation of even triply charged ones (C_{60})_{2}^{3+} is highly surprising. This remarkable resilience against Coulomb explosion is achieved through efficient cooling within the superfluid environment of helium nanodroplets and a sequential ionization scheme that populates covalently bound or physisorbed fullerene dimers.
