Background: Small vessel disease (SVD) is a disorder of the brain's microvessels and a common cause of dementia and stroke. Evidence links normal ageing features to SVD progression, involving endothelial activation, pericyte dysfunction, BBB failure, and microglia response. Here, we aim to examine this relationship through a series of translational investigations.

Background: Current evidence suggests that hippocampal subfields have partially different genetic architecture and may improve the sensitivity of the detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we investigated whether genetic predisposition to AD contributes to the accelerated rate of hippocampal volume atrophy across sex and AD stages and how this contribution is specifically driven by functional variants located in the APOE gene.
Methods: The study comprised 1,051 participants from ADNI cohort (75.

Background: Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) exhibits isoform-specific interactions with Alzheimer's disease (AD)-related pathology. In comparison with the more common ApoE3 isoform, ApoE4 promotes amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition, enhances tau-mediated neurodegeneration and inflammation. However, the lack of appropriate preclinical models has limited the ability to evaluate the potential synergistic effect of Aβ, tau and ApoE on cognition and disease progression.

Background: Psychotropic medications are commonly prescribed for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). However, the safety of antipsychotic drugs has always been a concern. The study aims to investigate the relationship between brain structural and the effective dosage of antipsychotic drugs.

Background: Researchers often divide heterogeneous samples into homogeneous subgroups for analysis. For example, a sample of participants with normal cognition, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia might be divided into subgroups to answer questions about whether some exposure variable (e.g.
