A robust nickel-catalyzed oxidative isocyanide insertion/C-H amination by reaction of readily available -uracil-amidines with isocyanides affording polysubstituted pyrimidouracils has been reported. The reaction proceeds in moderate to quantitative yield, under mild conditions (i.e., solvent, air atmosphere, moderate temperature). The broad range of structurally diverse isocyanides and -uracil-amidines that are tolerated make this method an interesting alternative to the currently available procedures toward pyrimidouracils.

Parkinson's disease (PD), a chronic and common neurodegenerative disease, is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the dense part of the substantia nigra and abnormal aggregation of alpha-synuclein. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic insulin resistance and deficiency in insulin secretion. Extensive evidence has confirmed shared pathogenic mechanisms underlying PD and T2DM, such as oxidative stress caused by insulin resistance, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and disorders of energy metabolism.

Background: Microglia undergo varying regional dependent functional changes, which can exacerbate cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease, but the full clinical relevance remains unclear. Ramified microglia survey the micro-environment and inert/amoeboid microglia engulf debris. A third morphological type; rod microglia, have been observed in a number of pathological conditions, but are relatively understudied.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have identified genetic polymorphisms of ABI3 as a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's Disease (LOAD), but the role of ABI3 in microglia is not well understood.
- Using CRISPR/Cas9, a specific risk variant (S212F) was introduced into mouse models to study its effects on AD-related pathologies alongside 5xFAD mice over time.
- Results showed that the 5xFAD/Abi3 mice exhibited a decrease in amyloid beta plaque burden and a significant reduction in microglia numbers with age, suggesting ABI3 may influence both plaque formation and microglial response in AD pathology.

Background: The orexin/hypocretin neuropeptide system, primarily found in the lateral hypothalamus and perifornical region, modulates sleep, wakefulness, appetite, and cognitive function. One region with dense orexinergic projections is the basal forebrain (BF), which is the major source of acetylcholine in the neocortex and limbic structures such as the hippocampus. The basal forebrain cholinergic system mediates cognition and dysfunction is one of the key hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Previously, we developed a co-calibrated and harmonized brain pathology score (BPS) across prospective cohort studies with research brain donation that incorporates multiple forms of postmortem neuropathology, using confirmatory factor analysis. We sought to identify genetic loci associated with BPS using a systems-biology approach, combining data from participants in the Adult Changes in Thought (ACT), the Religious Orders Study, and Rush Memory and Aging Project (ROSMAP) autopsy cohorts.
Method: We used PLINK in each cohort separately for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of BPS using HRC imputed data from European ancestry participants, adjusting for age at death, sex, and population substructure.
