Depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology
Wiels, Wietse A.; Oomens, Julie E.; Engelborghs, Sebastiaan; Baeken, Chris; von Arnim, Christine A.F.; Boada, Mercè; Didic, Mira; Dubois, BrunoImportance: Depressive symptoms are associated with cognitive decline in older individuals. Uncertainty about underlying mechanisms hampers diagnostic and therapeutic efforts. This large-scale study aimed to elucidate the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology. Objective: To examine the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology and its dependency on age, sex, education...
Nanomedicine-based technologies and novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and trea...
Cano, Amanda; Turowski, Patric; Ettcheto, Miren; Duskey, Jason Thomas; Tosi, Giovanni; Sánchez-López, Elena; García, Maria Luisa; Camins, AntonioIncreasing life expectancy has led to an aging population, which has consequently increased the prevalence of dementia. Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia worldwide, is estimated to make up 50-80% of all cases. AD cases are expected to reach 131 million by 2050, and this increasing prevalence will critically burden economies and health systems in the next decades. There is currently no t...
Epilepsy in Neurodegenerative Diseases: Related Drugs and Molecular Pathways
Cano, Amanda; Fonseca, Elena; Ettcheto, Miren; Sánchez-López, Elena; de Rojas, Itziar; Alonso-Lana, Silvia; Morató, Xavier; Souto, Eliana B.Epilepsy is a chronic disease of the central nervous system characterized by an electrical imbalance in neurons. It is the second most prevalent neurological disease, with 50 million people affected around the world, and 30% of all epilepsies do not respond to available treatments. Currently, the main hypothesis about the molecular processes that trigger epileptic seizures and promote the neurotoxic effects tha...

Common variants in Alzheimer's disease and risk stratification by polygenic ris...
de Rojas, Itziar; Moreno-Grau, Sonia; Tesi, Niccolo; Grenier-Boley, Benjamin; Andrade, Victor; Jansen, Iris E.; Pedersen, Nancy L.; Stringa, NajadaGenetic discoveries of Alzheimer's disease are the drivers of our understanding, and together with polygenetic risk stratification can contribute towards planning of feasible and efficient preventive and curative clinical trials. We first perform a large genetic association study by merging all available case-control datasets and by-proxy study results (discovery n = 409,435 and validation size n = 58,190). Her...
