Cytokine profiling in senescent and reactive astrocytes: A systematic review
Neurobiol Aging. 2024 Feb 27;138:28-35. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2024.02.012. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAstrocytes play an important role in neuroinflammation by producing proinflammatory molecules. In response to various stressful stimuli, astrocytes can become senescent or reactive, both are present in age-associated cognitive impairment and other neurodegenerative diseases, and contribute to neuroinflammation. However, there are no studies that compare the cytokines secreted by these types of astrocytes in the brain during aging. Hence, we aimed to broaden the picture of the secretory profiles and to differenti...

Childhood engagement in cognitively stimulating activities moderates relationships between brain structure and cognitive function in adulthood
Neurobiol Aging. 2024 Feb 23;138:36-44. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2024.02.010. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGreater engagement in cognitively stimulating activities (CSA) during adulthood has been shown to protect against neurocognitive decline, but no studies have investigated whether CSA during childhood protects against effects of brain changes on cognition later in life. The current study tested the moderating role of childhood CSA in the relationships between brain structure and cognitive performance during adulthood. At baseline (N=250) and 5-year follow-up (N=204) healthy adults aged 20-80 underwent MRI to asse...

Tau-PET in early cortical Alzheimer brain regions in relation to mild behavioral impairment in older adults with either normal cognition or mild cognitive impairment
Neurobiol Aging. 2024 Feb 16;138:19-27. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2024.02.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMild Behavioral Impairment (MBI) leverages later-life emergent and persistent neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) to identify a high-risk group for incident dementia. Phosphorylated tau (p-tau) is a hallmark biological manifestation of Alzheimer disease (AD). We investigated associations between MBI and tau accumulation in early-stage AD cortical regions. In 442 Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative participants with normal cognition or mild cognitive impairment, MBI status was determined alongside correspondi...
