Lower Hippocampal Volume Partly Mediates the Association Between rs6859 in the NECTIN2 Gene and Alzheimer's Disease: New Findings from Causal Mediation Analysis of ADNI Data

The paper uses causal mediation analysis on ADNI data to show that hippocampal volume mediates the link between NECTIN2 rs6859 polymorphism and Alzheimer's disease risk.

Elevated blood glucose levels are associated with the progression of brain hypometabolism, and HDL-C and APOE4 add to this association

This study finds that high blood glucose levels are associated with brain hypometabolism progression, with HDL-C and APOE4 further contributing to this association.

APOE4 and Infectious Diseases Jointly Contribute to Brain Glucose Hypometabolism, a Biomarker of Alzheimers Pathology: New findings from the ADNI

The paper investigates how APOE4 and infections together contribute to brain glucose hypometabolism, a marker of Alzheimer's pathology, using ADNI data.
