Have a read of the latest Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) funded publication investigating the association between different AD polygenic risk scores (PRS) and amyloid accumulation in the Flemish Prevent AD Cohort KU Leuven (F-PACK).

Congratulations to the authors Emma Luckett, Yasmina A., Mariska Reinartz, Kasia Adamczuk, Jolien Schaeverbeke, Sare Verstockt, Steffi De Meyer, Koen Van Laere, Patrick Dupont, Isabelle Cleynen & Rik Vandenberghe!

Association of Alzheimer’s disease polygenic risk scores with amyloid accumulation in cognitively intact older adults - Alzheimer's Research & Therapy Background Early detection of individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is highly important. Amyloid accumulation is an early pathological AD event, but the genetic association with known AD risk variants beyond the APOE4 effect is largely unknown. We investigated the association between di...

Have a read of the latest Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) funded publication outlining the current knowledge around the vital role of the apoptosis-inducing factor by primarily focusing on currently reported human diseases that have been linked to AIFM1 deficiency.

Congratulations to the authors Lena Wischhof, Enzo Scifo, Dan Ehninger, Daniele Bano and the whole consortium!

The Alzheimer’s Association International Conference is the largest and most influential international meeting dedicated to advancing dementia science. Each year, AAIC convenes the world’s leading basic science and clinical researchers, next-generation investigators, clinicians and the care research community to share research discoveries that’ll lead to methods of prevention and treatment and improvements in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. This year, the conference took place from 31st July to 4th August as a hybrid event (online and in San Diego, US) and attracted over 10,000 attendees.

We were pleased that several EPAD researchers presented their respective work at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference

– Sarah Gregory (UEDIN): “Does adherence to the Mediterranean diet have differential effects on brain health for those living within and outside of the Mediterranean region?”

– Luigi Lorenzini (VUmc): “Concerted alterations of functional connectivity and WM integrity in relationship to early amyloid deposition”

– Luigi Lorenzini (VUmc): “Functional eigenvector centrality dynamics are related to amyloid deposition in preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease.”

– Gonzalo Sánchez Benavides (BBRC) “Re-examining the impact of adjusting for education and s*x the RBANS delayed memory score: Implications on the cut-offs used to detect cognitive impairment in prodromal Alzheimer’s disease. Data from the EPAD-LCS study.”

– Irene Cumplido Mayoral (BBRC) “Biological Brain Age Prediction Using Machine Learning on Structural Neuroimaging Data: Multi-Cohort Validation Against Biomarkers of Alzheimer’s Disease and Neurodegeneration.
