Background: Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from European ancestry identified many genetic variants associated with clinical diagnosis of AD dementia. However, it remains unclear whether these AD-related variants are associated with AD biomarkers, particularly hippocampal atrophy, a well-known neurodegeneration biomarker of AD in a Korean population. In this study, we investigated the association between known AD risk single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and hippocampal atrophy along the AD continuum in older Korean adults.

Nevertheless, the neuropathological substrates underlying the association remains unclear. Our aim was to investigate the association between liver function markers and the longitudinal changes of in vivo AD pathologies.

Nevertheless, limited information is yet available for the relationship between sleep experiences and longitudinal changes of brain pathologies related to AD. This study aimed to investigate the association between late-life sleep experiences and the prospective changes of in vivo AD pathologies and cerebrovascular injury over 2 years in cognitively normal (CN) old adults.

Among them, triple-cation perovskites such as CsFAMAPbI offer enhanced stability and superior performance, making them ideal candidates for advanced applications. However, the multicomponent nature of these perovskites introduces complexity, particularly in how their structural, optical, and electrical properties are influenced by thermal annealing─a critical step for achieving high-quality thin films.
