Abstract
Biomarkers that accurately identify mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are of greater importance for Alzheimer's disease (AD) management and treatment. On the other hand, blood-based biomarkers are not only more practical but also less invasive than the common cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. In their report in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, Wang and collaborators identified 67 upregulated and 220 downregulated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). They further demonstrated that 4 of these lncRNAs could discriminate MCI from cognitively healthy individuals. Apart from their significance as potential biomarkers for MCI diagnosis, these lncRNAs can offer additional information on the cellular mechanisms of AD pathology.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Alzheimer''s Disease (JAD) is an international multidisciplinary journal to facilitate progress in understanding the etiology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, genetics, behavior, treatment and psychology of Alzheimer''s disease. The journal publishes research reports, reviews, short communications, hypotheses, ethics reviews, book reviews, and letters-to-the-editor. The journal is dedicated to providing an open forum for original research that will expedite our fundamental understanding of Alzheimer''s disease.
