Alzheimers Dement

Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH, USA.
Background: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the most common nonheritable causes of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, there is lack of effective treatment for both AD and TBI. We posit that network-based integration of multi-omics and endophenotype disease module coupled with large real-world patient data analysis of electronic health records (EHR) can help identify repurposable drug candidates for the treatment of TBI and AD.

Background: The Apolipoprotein E4 isoform (ApoE4), encoded by the APOE gene, stands out as the most influential genetic factor in late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). The ApoE4 isoform contributes to metabolic and neuropathological abnormalities during brain aging, with a strong correlation observed in APOE4-positive Alzheimer's disease cases between phosphorylated tau burden and amyloid deposition. Despite compelling evidence of APOE-mediated neuroinflammation influencing the progression of tau-mediated neurodegeneration, the molecular mechanisms underlying these phenomena remain largely unknown.

Background: Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) face an increased risk of dementia. Recent discoveries indicate that SGLT2 inhibitors, a newer class of anti-diabetic medication, exhibit beneficial metabolic effects beyond glucose control, offering a potential avenue for mitigating the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, limited evidence exists regarding whether the use of SGLT2 inhibitors effectively reduces the risk of AD.

Background: Some types of cancer have been associated with reduced risk of clinical dementia diagnosis. Whether cancer history may be associated with neuropathological features of neurodegeneration or cerebrovascular disease is not well understood. We investigated the relation between cancer diagnosis and brain pathology in a sample of community-based research volunteers enrolled in an Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC) cohort.
