Aortic Stiffening Linked to Alzheimer s Biomarkers

Jun 1, 2021 Associations seen with many CSF measures, but not beta-amyloid Aortic stiffening was associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) markers of neurodegeneration and Alzheimer’s disease, a cross-sectional study found. “Among our oldest participants, age 74 years and older, greater aortic stiffening is associated with in vivo biomarker evidence of neuroinflammation, tau phosphorylation, synaptic dysfunction, and neurodegeneration, but not amyloidosis,” wrote Angela Jefferson, PhD, of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and co-authors in “Central arterial stiffening may lead to cumulative cerebral microcirculatory damage and blood flow delivery to tissue, resulting in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in more advanced age,” the researchers continued. “Collectively, our results suggest arterial stiffness does not primarily affect brain health through amyloidosis but rather through concomitant pathways of injury, though findings must be interprete

Possible new PET tracer for early detection of Alzheimer s

Date Time Possible new PET tracer for early detection of Alzheimer’s New biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease are a priority area for researchers seeking to learn more about the disease and find possible methods of early diagnosis. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have now studied a new PET tracer that is an important diagnostic tool for the disease. The study on the tracer substance BU99008, which is published in Molecular Psychiatry, can play a key part in the early identification of signs of Alzheimer’s disease. The binding of the PET-tracer BU99008 shows reactive astrogliosis in different parts of the brain of a deceased patient with Alzheimer’s disease. The colours show the extent of the binding, where green is low, yellow is medium, and red is high binding. Credit: Amit Kumar.
