Current status and challenges of stem cell treatment for Alzheimer’s disease
(Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, 2021)
Neurodegenerative diseases called tauopathies, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy, and Parkinson’s disease, among others, are characterized by the pathological processing ...
Prediction of dementia risk in low-income and middleincome countries (the 10/66 Study): an independent external validation of existing models
(Elsevier Ltd., 2020-04)
To date, dementia prediction models have been exclusively developed and tested in high-income countries (HICs). However, most people with dementia live in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), where dementia risk ...
Dementia attributable healthcare utilizations in the Caribbean versus United States
(Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2023-11-07)
Despite the high burden of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias among the Hispanic population worldwide, little is known about how dementia affects healthcare utilizations among this population outside of the US, in ...
FMNL2 regulates gliovascular interactions and is associated with vascular risk factors and cerebrovascular pathology in Alzheimer’s disease
(Acta Neuropathologica (2022) 144:59–79, 2022-05-24)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factors (CVRFs) during middle

Progranulin mutations in clinical and neuropathological Alzheimer’s disease
(Alzheimers Dement., 2022-12-10)
Progranulin (GRN) mutations occur in frontotemporal lobar degeneration
