Background: Understanding the fundamental differences between the human and pre-human brain is a prerequisite for designing meaningful models and therapies for AD. Expressed CHRFAM7A, a human restricted gene with carrier frequency of 75% in the human population predicts profound translational significance.
Method: The physiological role of CHRFAM7A in human brain is explored using multiomics approach on 600 post mortem human brain tissue samples (ROSMAP).

Women account for almost two-thirds of Alzheimer's disease (AD) cases, yet evidence significantly less clinical benefit from recently deployed amyloid-lowering therapies. To close this disparity gap, there is an urgent need to identify biological drivers of sex differences in the manifestation and clinical response to AD therapeutics. A recent review of multi-omic studies of AD reported >75% of studies showed female-specific changes at the molecular level (vs.

Background: Disparities in the quality and timeliness of care for Alzheimer's disease (AD) are well documented. This study assessed the impact of demographic characteristics on the diagnosis and management of early AD patients in community-based settings.
Method: This cross-sectional study abstracted medical chart data for patients aged 50-89 years who had newly diagnosed early AD (mild cognitive impairment [MCI] or mild AD) within the past 2 years and a clinic visit within the past 12 months.

Background: Self-rated health status goes beyond a mere indicator of one's well-being, encompassing biological, social, and functional aspects. It has emerged as a significant variable in predicting mortality. Against this backdrop, understanding the impact of subjective health status on anxiety symptoms is crucial for individuals with dementia.

Background: Although cognitive decline is a trait related to aging, some individuals are resilient to the aging process, defined as SuperAgers. Studying the neural underpinnings of SuperAgers may improve the understanding of AD pathology. In this study, our aim was to analyze amyloid and neurodegeneration imaging biomarkers in SuperAgers.
