Longitudinal Profiling of Plasma-Derived Glial Extracellular Vesicles in Alzheimer's Disease
Sponsor: Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS
Summary
This project aims to longitudinally profile plasma-derived GDEVs and plasma biomarkers of neuroinflammation across three stages of the AD continuum (Subjective Cognitive Decline, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Alzheimer's Dementia), exploring their association with biomarkers of amyloidopathy, tauopathy and neurodegeneration, cognitive status and clinical outcome over time. Moreover, GDEVs - collected from subjects at different disease stages - will be used to treat human neurons derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from healthy controls in order to assess the induced differential neurotoxic or priming effects. This dual translational approach may help identify early pathogenic signatures of neuroinflammation and elucidate their role in disease progression.
