Our study investigates the molecular link between COVID-19 and Alzheimer's disease (AD). We aim to elucidate the mechanisms by which COVID-19 may influence the onset or progression of AD. Using...

These findings reveal a potential pathogenetic link between COVID-19 and Alzheimer disease, mediated by common differentially expressed genes and the endocannabinoid system pathway.

These findings suggest that a) although subsets of patients with PTSD and/or TBI develop AD-pathology, a history of TBI or PTSD alone or both is not associated with a significantly...

Although subsets of patients with PTSD and/or TBI develop Alzheimer disease pathology, a history of TBI or PTSD alone or both is not associated with a significantly higher risk of developing Alzheimer disease later in life.
