  1. White matter free water mediates the associations between placental growth factor, white matter hyperintensities, and cognitive status

    Elevated PlGF may contribute to WMH and cognitive impairment through white matter FW accumulation.

  2. Regional White Matter Hyperintensities and Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers Among Older Adults with Normal Cognition and Mild Cognitive Impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 50 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2023-01-01 Biomarkers

    These findings suggest that although WMH are primarily related to systemic vascular risk and neurodegeneration (i.e., t-tau), AD-specific pathways may contribute to the formation of WMH in a regionally-specific manner, with neurofibrillary tangles (i.e., p-tau) playing a role in temporal WMHs and amyloid (i.e., Aβ 42/Aβ 40) in parietal WMHs.
