Background: Plasma levels of phosphorylated tau (pTau-181), neurofilament light chain (NfL), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) as biomarkers of brain pathology and neurodegeneration have been associated with cognition and Alzheimer's dementia. Whether a dietary intervention modifies these relationships by potentially promoting cognitive reserve is unknown. We conducted a posthoc analysis of the MIND trial to investigate whether dietary intervention modifies the association of longitudinal changes in pTau-181, NfL, and GFAP with cognition during 3 years of follow-up.

However, single-cell data present unique challenges that require the development of specialized methods and software infrastructure to successfully derive biological insights. The Bioconductor project has rapidly grown to meet these demands, hosting community-developed open-source software distributed as R packages.
