New insights into the genetic etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies on Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias identifies new loci and enables generation of a new genetic risk score associated with the risk of future Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Common variants in Alzheimer’s disease and risk stratification by polygenic risk scores

Known genetic loci account for only a fraction of the genetic contribution to Alzheimer’s disease. Here, the authors have performed a large genome-wide meta-analysis comprising 409,435 individuals to discover 6 new loci and demonstrate the efficacy of an Alzheimer’s disease polygenic risk score.

Network charges in a low CO₂ world

New and emerging energy consumption patterns driven by the rise of prosumers may lead to under-recovery of network costs under current network charges, so new tariffs are being sought. A study using detailed household consumption data now illustrates the potentially disproportionate impact of different tariffs on household budgets.

Neurotensin neurons in the extended amygdala control dietary choice and energy homeostasis

Furlan et al. report that neurotensin-expressing neurons in the IPAC encode preference for unhealthy energy-dense foods and drive hedonic eating. Thus, inhibition of these neurons reduces hedonic eating, improves metabolic health and prevents obesity.

Machine learning in Alzheimer’s disease genetics

Here the authors apply machine learning approaches to Alzheimer’s genetics, confirm known associations and suggest novel risk loci. These methods demonstrate predictive power comparable to traditional approaches, while also offering potential new insights beyond standard genetic analyses.

Upper gut heat shock proteins HSP70 and GRP78 promote insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

High-fat diet (HFD) increases the risk of insulin resistance and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Here the authors report that the heat shock proteins HSP70 and GRP78 are increased in the jejunum of rats on HFD, and their continuous infusion leads insulin resistance and NASH, while in rats on a high-fat diet infused with monoclonal antibodies against HSP70 and GRP78 these phenotypes are reversed.
