Alzheimers Dement

Background: Severe systemic infections can trigger cognitive decline, but the underlying mechanisms and their impact on the manifestation and progression of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases are poorly understood. The current COVID-19 pandemic has brought a surge of severe viral illness and highlights the importance of understanding the impact of acute infections on cognition and the manifestation of neurodegenerative disease in survivors. A wealth of observational and clinical data suggests major short- and long-term effects of severe infections on cognition, but detailed and systematic analyses of neuropathological changes after acute infections are scarce.

Background: The increased vulnerability of Alzheimer's disease patients to severe SARS-CoV-2 infection raises crucial concerns, especially with the potential transition of the COVID-19 pandemic to an endemic state. Given the rising prevalence of Alzheimer's in an aging world-wide population, elucidating whether SARS-CoV-2 infection may induce or accelerate neurodegeneration becomes imperative.
Method: To investigate the neurodegenerative effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection, we generated brain organoids using human induced pluripotent stem lines from one non-demented control, one with sporadic Alzheimer's, and one with familial Alzheimer's.

Primary blast exposure is a predominant cause of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) among veterans and active-duty military personnel, and affected individuals may develop long-lasting behavioral disturbances that interfere with quality of life. Our prior research with the "Missouri Blast" model demonstrated behavioral changes relevant to deficits in cognitive and affective domains after exposure to low-intensity blast (LIB). In this study, behavioral evaluations were extended to 3 months post-LIB injury using multifaceted conventional and advanced behavioral paradigms.

Delays in development that occur during early childhood can have long-lasting consequences, potentially leading to poor academic achievement. Research has shown that the human immunodeficiency virus can have neurotropic effects, which may impact the development of the brain in infected children. However, there is a scarcity of evidence regarding developmental delays among children with human immunodeficiency virus in the study area.

Long-lasting afterglow luminescence imaging that detects photons slowly being released from chemical defects has emerged, eliminating the need for real-time photoexcitation and enabling autofluorescence-free imaging with high signal-to-background ratios (SBRs). Organic afterglow nano-systems are notable for their tunability and design versatility. However, challenges such as unsatisfactory afterglow intensity, short emission wavelengths, limited activatable strategies, and shallow tissue penetration depth hinder their widespread biomedical applications and clinical translation.
