Physician, Speaker, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity, Founder of Early, CoFounder of 10 Squared, and Podcast Host of THE DRIVE
In this episode (#303) of The Drive, I speak with Dena Dubal, M.D., Ph.D., a physician-scientist and professor of neurology at UCSF whose work focuses on mechanisms of longevity and brain resilience. In this episode, Dena delves into the intricacies of the longevity factor klotho: its formation and distribution in the body, the factors such as stress and exercise that impact its levels, and its profound impact on cognitive function and overall brain health. Dena shares insights from exciting research in animal models showing the potential of klotho in treating neurodegenerative diseases as well as its broader implications for organ health and disease prevention. She concludes with an optimistic outlook for future research in humans and the potential of klotho for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Here’s a glimpse of what we discuss: - Potential benefits of klotho on brain health - Promising results of klotho in primate models, and the importance of finding an appropriate therapeutic dose before moving to human trials - Potential cognitive benefits of klotho in humans, the impact of the KL-VS genetic variant on klotho levels, and the need for human trials to confirm these effects - The interaction between the KL-VS genetic variant and APOE4 and how it impacts risk of Alzheimer’s disease - The significance of klotho levels: studies linking lower levels to increased mortality and the broader implications for organ health and disease prevention - More https://bit.ly/4aCGLE1

Our article is published journal's online - https://lnkd.in/gejhvKx9 Glad to share the acceptance of lab article 'Unraveling the Complexity of Human Brain: Structure, Function in Heathy and Disease States' in Ageing Research Reviews. Heartfelt Congratulations to Sultana, Madhuri and Ariful - Just adding Sultana's statements here - Abstract is given below - Sultana, Madhuri and Ariful Explained Brain Structure-Function Well with 12 Figures, useful material for a neuroanatomy scientist and Alzheimer's disease researcher - Blessed to have such a creative/innovative team in the reddy lab Abstract-The human brain stands as an intricate organ, embodying a nexus of structure, function, development, and diversity. Our article delves into the multifaceted landscape of the brain, spanning its anatomical intricacies, diverse functional capacities, dynamic developmental trajectories, and inherent variability across individuals. The dynamic process of brain development, from early embryonic stages to adulthood, highlights the nuanced changes that occur throughout the lifespan. The brain, a remarkably complex organ, is composed of various anatomical regions, each contributing uniquely to its overall functionality. Through an exploration of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and electrophysiology, this review elucidates how different brain structures interact to support a wide array of cognitive processes, sensory perception, motor control, and emotional regulation. Moreover, it addresses the impact of age, sex, and ethnic background on brain structure and function, and gender differences profoundly influence the onset, progression, and manifestation of brain disorders shaped by genetic, hormonal, environmental, and social factors. Delving into the complexities of the human brain, it investigates how variations in anatomical configuration correspond to diverse functional capacities across individuals. Furthermore, it examines the impact of neurodegenerative diseases on the structural and functional integrity of the brain. Specifically, our article explores the pathological processes underlying neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases, shedding light on the structural alterations and functional impairments that accompany these conditions. We will also explore the current research trends in neurodegenerative diseases and identify the existing gaps in the literature. Overall, this article deepens our understanding of the fundamental principles governing brain structure and function and paves the way for a deeper understanding of individual differences and tailored approaches in neuroscience and clinical practice—additionally, a comprehensive understanding of structural and functional changes that manifest in neurodegenerative diseases.

Yes, the central nervous system (CNS) is indeed connected to the lymphatic system. Recent discoveries have shown that the brains of mice contain functional lymphatic vessels capable of carrying fluid and immune cells from cerebrospinal fluid. These findings suggest that a similar connection may exist in humans. The lymphatic vessels in the CNS were discovered in the meninges, the layers of tissue covering the brain. This discovery is significant as it may play a role in neurological disorders associated with immune system dysfunction, such as multiple sclerosis, meningitis, and Alzheimer's disease. The presence of these lymphatic vessels in the CNS challenges long-held beliefs and opens up new areas of research in neurology and immunology. #cns #neurology

Ultrasound Blood–Brain Barrier Opening and Aducanumab in Alzheimer’s Disease - Ali R. Rezai et al. Published January 3, 2024 N Engl J Med 2024;390:55-62 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2308719 VOL. 390 NO. 1 Summary Antiamyloid antibodies have been used to reduce cerebral amyloid-beta (Aβ) load in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. We applied focused ultrasound with each of six monthly aducanumab infusions to temporarily open the blood–brain barrier with the goal of enhancing amyloid removal in selected brain regions in three participants over a period of 6 months. The reduction in the level of Aβ was numerically greater in regions treated with focused ultrasound than in the homologous regions in the contralateral hemisphere that were not treated with focused ultrasound, as measured by fluorine-18 florbetaben positron-emission tomography. Cognitive tests and safety evaluations were conducted over a period of 30 to 180 days after treatment. (Founded by the Harry T. Mangurian, Jr. Foundation and the West Virginia University Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute.)

With the Specialist combines medical expertise with technological innovation. Trust in a solution created by doctors, for doctors, and revolutionize your approach to neurological care.
Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, led by Harald Sontheimer, PhD, have uncovered new insights into the role of "perineuronal nets" in the brain, which could advance understanding and treatment of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and schizophrenia. The study found that these nets act as crucial barriers for proper neuron communication. Disruption of these structures in lab mice led to seizures and brain changes similar to those seen in epilepsy and Alzheimer's. Although first discovered in 1898, this research highlights the significant role these nets play in normal brain function and opens new avenues for developing treatments. Sontheimer noted that this discovery also prompts a reevaluation of how tissue inflammation impacts neuronal signaling, offering potential for innovative therapies targeting these mechanisms. #neurology #perineuronalnets With the Specialist combines artificial intelligence with a board certified neurologist to enhance neurological care in the primary care setting, bringing the neurology consult to you. #withthespecialist #aiinhealthcare #innovation https://lnkd.in/guH4QHqu https://lnkd.in/gExrwg2P

Scientists still are not sure how neurological symptoms arise in Covid-19. Is it because SARS-CoV-2 infects the brain? Or are these symptoms the result of inflammation in the rest of the body? A study by Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin has now produced evidence to support the latter theory. It was published in the journal Nature Neuroscience. #Headaches, #memory problems, and #fatigue are just some of the neurological impacts that arise during coronavirus infection and can last well beyond the acute period. #Covid19 #SARSCoV2 #brain #coronaviruses 👩🔬 Neurological symptoms apparently not a result of SARS-CoV-2 infection of the brain: https://lnkd.in/et2Qffn9 Universitätsmedizin Greifswald, @Josefine Radke, @Helena Radbruch, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin
