AI Article Synopsis

  • Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is influenced by specific risk alleles that promote cellular senescence, which is associated with aging.
  • The study explores how these genetic factors interact with biological aging and highlight differences based on sex.
  • These findings provide a better understanding of the mechanisms linking genetic risk and aging processes in the context of Alzheimer's disease.

Article Abstract

Carling et al. report that late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) risk alleles drive cellular senescence, a hallmark of aging, in a tau- and sex-dependent manner. Mechanistic insights into interactions among genetic risk, biological aging, and sex differences in LOAD are presented.
