This review addresses the significant advancements in the identification of blood-based prognostic biomarkers for tuberculosis (TB), highlighting the importance of early detection to prevent disease progression. The manuscript discusses various biomarker categories, including transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, immune cell-based, cytokine-based, and antibody response-based markers, emphasizing their potential in predicting TB incidence. Despite promising results, practical application is hindered by high costs, technical complexities, and the need for extensive validation across diverse populations.

Background: Women are at increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared to men. Given research supporting up to 40% of AD cases as preventable with lifestyle modification, midlife represents a critical time of life to intervene on dementia risks; however, little research has examined women-specific presentation of risk at midlife, or how menopause staging may impact risk presentation. The aim of this study was to assess dementia risk profiles in women at risk for AD due to family history, including self-reported and lab-based modifiable risks, and to determine the role of menopause on risk presentation.

Over the past decade, the systems-based multi-omic approaches employed by the Accelerating Medicines Partnership in AD (AMP-AD) have resulted in the identification of promising peripheral markers of disease heterogeneity. This scientific review will highlight these advances with a particular focus on the consortium's successes in peripheral protein biomarker discovery in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma.
