Angina pectoris (AP), a clinical syndrome characterized by paroxysmal chest pain, is caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries and sudden temporary myocardial ischemia and hypoxia. Long-term AP typically induces other cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction and heart failure, posing a serious threat to patient safety. However, AP's complex pathological mechanisms and developmental processes introduce significant challenges in the rapid diagnosis and accurate treatment of its different subtypes, including stable angina pectoris (SAP), unstable angina pectoris (UAP), and variant angina pectoris (VAP).

Motor proteins play a key role in neuronal functions and morphology that are important for learning and memory. We have previously reported that increased expression KIF11/Kinesin-5 overrides Aß-mediated effects on dendritic spine density and long-term potentiation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD), effectively maintaining cognitive function in the face of Aß pathology. Here, we evaluated the association of key AD phenotypes with mRNA expression levels of a select set of Dynein motor proteins METHOD: We utilized measurements of gene expression, AD neuropathology burden, and cognition provided by the ROS/MAP study to determine whether an association exists between AD phenotypes and expression of genes for cytoplasmic and axonemal dynein heavy chains.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) risk variants APOE4 and TREM2-R47H have been shown to impact glial cell functions and transcriptional profiles. We hypothesize that TREM2-APOE may have synergistic effects in driving pathogenesis and disease progression of AD in a cell type-specific manner.
Methods: We investigated cell-type specific transcriptional changes associated with APOE4- and TREM2-R47H-carrier status.

Background: In Alzheimer's disease (AD) the fact that neuropsychiatric symptoms can predate the onset of cognitive symptoms suggests that greater focus on the non-cognitive behavioral changes in earlier life could be an opportunity to investigate 'latent' mild behavioral impairment (MBI) as a possible diagnostic strategy for preclinical AD.
Method: We used 1- and 6-month-old 3xTg-AD male mice and age-matched wild-type animals (CEUA-ICB/USP: 127/2015). Two batteries of behavioral tests were performed: (1) open field test (OFT), novel object recognition test (NORT), and rotarod test; (2) elevated zero maze test (EZMT), forced swim test (FST), and sucrose preference test (SPT).
Background: The progression of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs) from prodromal state to dementia syndrome prompts researchers to identify early markers of cognitive decline. One potential risk marker is subjective memory concerns (SMCs). Individuals with greater perceived stress often report more cognitive concerns.
