Connecting ocular images to EHRs would enable AI-assisted diagnoses
AI could identify early signs of heart disease and even Alzheimer ’s in ocular images. But Kerry Goetz, associate director, NEI Office of Data Science and Health Informatics, says a lack of interoperability keeps this image data out of EHRs.

From Policies to pTau: Exposing Social and Structural Drivers of Alzheimer ’ s Disease and Opportunities for Brain Health Justice
Jennifer J. Manly, PhD is a Professor of Neuropsychology in Neurology at the Gertrude H. Sergievsky Center and the Taub Institute for Research in Aging and Alzheimer ’ s disease at Columbia University. Her research focuses on mechanisms of inequalities in cognitive aging and Alzheimer ’ s Disease. Her research team has partnered with the Black and Latinx communities in New York City and around the United States to design and carry out investigations of structural and social forces across the lifecourse, such as educational opportunities, discrimination, and socioeconomic inequality, and how these factors relate to cogn...

NIH ProtIG Seminar: The role of long-lived proteins in aging and Alzheimer ’ s disease
Loss of proteostasis is a hallmark of aging, and aging is the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Deterioration in function and accumulation of damage to the proteome are largely repaired by protein turnover. These turnover mechanisms are particularly important in long-lived postmitotic neurons, which cannot dilute toxic proteins through cell division. We aimed to identify extremely long-lived proteins (ELLP) that persist for several months or longer across the aging continuum in wild-type mice and in genetic AD mouse models. We hypothesize that these ELLPs represent key points of vulnerability to the declin...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: Neuronal-origin extracellular vesicles in the circulation as a source of biomarkers for brain diseases
Extracellular Vesicles enriched for neuronal origin (NEVs) can be isolated from plasma by immunoaffinity capture. NEVs provide biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, disease monitoring, and therapeutic response in Alzheimer ’ s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD), and, increasingly, other neurologic and psychiatric disorders. NEV biomarkers for preclinical AD have been validated in large longitudinal cohorts, such as the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. Moreover, NEV biomarkers can identify clinical subgroups (e.g., Parkinson ’ s disease patients with cognitive impairment), facilitating the development of Preci...
