Background: Impaired Aβ clearance plays a key role in the common, late-onset AD. Anti-Aβ immunotherapies are controversial, in part because of high rates of serious side effects including edema, microhemorrhages, and siderosis, highlighting the importance of the development of alternative Aβ clearance strategy. Here, we introduce a bioinspired nanoparticle named MG-PE3 crossing the human blood-brain barrier (BBB) and clearing Aβ with no adverse effect.

However, there is not much research to conclude how much each rTMS or COG contributes to therapeutic cognitive effects.

Objective: We sought to define immunotherapy outcomes in patients with sinonasal mucosal melanoma.
Background: Family caregivers of persons with dementia (PWD) suffer from constant caregiving burden resulting in poor sleep quality. Understanding sleep parameters (e.g.

Being married is shown to be linked to lower risk of dementia, but less is understood about underlying mechanisms contributing to this relationship, such as brain reserve (BR) and cognitive reserve (CR). Further, less is known about how living arrangement, independent of marital status, is associated with late-life cognition.
