Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials led to the recent successes with monoclonal antibodies targeting amyloid, which opens up many new directions for research into treatment for AD in the future. Gaining greater understanding from these successes and failures will help researchers to focus their efforts on avenues that have the highest potential benefit.
Method: We performed a meta-analysis of over a hundred studies of 70+ AD treatments.

Background: Mobile, valid and engaging cognitive assessments are essential for detecting and tracking change in research participants and patients at risk for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRDs). This pilot study aims to determine the feasibility and generalizability of an at-home, app-based cognitive assessment, the mobile cognitive app performance platform (mCAPP), to detect cognitive changes associated with aging and preclinical AD.
Method: mCAPP includes three gamified tasks (Figure 1): (1) a "concentration" memory task that includes learning and matching hidden card pairs with increasing memory load, pattern separation features (lure vs.

Aging is a complex biological process that involves the gradual decline of cellular, tissue, and organ functions. In kidney, aging manifests as tubular atrophy, glomerulosclerosis, and progressive renal function decline. The critical role of senescence-associated macrophage in diseases, particularly kidney diseases, is increasingly recognized.

Lysine succinylation is an emerging post-translational modification of proteins. It involves the addition of the succinyl group to lysine residues of target proteins through both enzymatic and non-enzymatic pathways. This modification can alter the structure of the target protein, which, in turn, impacts protein activity and function and is involved in a wide range of diseases.
