Background: Convergent evidence indicates that deficits in the endosomal recycling pathway underlies pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). SORL1 encodes the retromer-associated receptor SORLA that plays an essential role in recycling of AD-associated cargos such as the amyloid precursor protein and the glutamatergic AMPA receptor. Importantly, loss of function pathogenic SORL1 variants are associated with AD.

Background: ABCA1-mediated cholesterol transport is a central feature in many lipid- dependent diseases including APOE4-associated Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis-CVD. ABCA1 upregulation of RNA transcription by nuclear factors (LXR, RXR) have been associated with liver side-effects because of the common promotor element for ABCA1 and Fatty Acid Synthase. The ABCA1 agonist CS6253, derived from the C-terminal of apoE was designed to stabilize and enhance ABCA1 function, thereby providing a safe alternative to transcriptional upregulation.

Background: Loneliness has been linked to cognitive decline and an elevated risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous studies measured loneliness at a single point time, which may not accurately capture the longitudinal changes of different loneliness types (e.g.

Background: Mixed dementia type - Alzheimer's Disease (AD), cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), and vascular - is vastly recognized as a cause of dementia in older adults. Whereas CAA, primarily leptomeningeal, is a frequent complication in hereditary transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (TTRCA), it is unusually reported in association with wild-type TTR, with or without polyneuropathy. The knowledge of mixed dementia and wild-type TTR association is even scarcer.

Background: Stroke secondary to intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is associated with high recurrence risk despite currently available secondary prevention strategies. In patients with systemic atherosclerosis, a significant reduction of stroke risk with no increase in intracranial or fatal hemorrhage was seen when rivaroxaban 2.5 mg twice daily was added to aspirin.
