Development and validation of MethylCog, a blood DNA methylation proxy for cognition
Abstract INTRODUCTION Heterogeneity in cognitive ability increases with age and predicts mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia, but scalable blood‐based biomarkers are lacking. We developed and validated MethylCog, a parsimonious DNA methylation (DNAm) marker of general cognitive ability (g).

Usage and positivity rates of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in a memory clinic
Abstract INTRODUCTION Usage of biomarker tests for Alzheimer's disease pathology and rates of positivity were assessed at the Washington University Memory Diagnostic Center. METHODS Patients who underwent at least one biomarker test for clinical purposes between June 2021 and March 2025 were included (n = 1136). Data were retrospectively extracted from

Precision medicine for Alzheimer's disease in Down syndrome
Abstract INTRODUCTION Down syndrome (DS) exhibits a genetic form of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We used a blood‐based proteomic algorithm to predict cognitive status, treatment responders, and change to vitamin E in DS adults from a completed clinical trial, “Vitamin E in Aged Persons with Down Syndrome,” which originally showed no significant cognitive ...

High Quality Catalog of Proteotypic Peptides from Human Heart [PDF]
Proteomics research is beginning to expand beyond the more traditional shotgun analysis of protein mixtures to include targeted analyses of specific proteins using mass spectrometry. Integral to the development of a robust assay based on targeted mass spectrometry is prior knowledge of which peptides provide an accurate and sensitive proxy of the ...

Penalized Estimation in Finite Mixtures of Multivariate Regression Models via the EM‐PGM Algorithm
ABSTRACT In many areas of medical and life sciences research, multiple diagnostic criteria and phenotypic outcomes are assessed simultaneously to characterize diseases and biological traits. These multivariate outcomes are often associated with high‐dimensional covariates and subject to underlying population heterogeneity, presenting challenges for ...

Enzymatic dissociation induces transcriptional and proteotype bias in brain cell populations [PDF]
AbstractDifferent cell isolation techniques exist for transcriptomic and proteotype profiling of brain cells. Here, we provide a systematic investigation of the influence of different cell isolation protocols on transcriptional and proteotype profiles in mouse brain tissue by taking into account single-cell transcriptomics of brain cells, proteotypes ...

Sex-divergent effects on the NAD+-dependent deacetylase sirtuin signaling across the olfactory–entorhinal–amygdaloid axis in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases [PDF]
BackgroundSmell impairment is one of the earliest features in Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD). Due to sex differences exist in terms of smell and olfactory structures as well as in the prevalence and manifestation of both neurological ...

Sensitive and reproducible determination of clinical HDL proteotypes [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundHigh-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a heterogenous mixture of blood-circulating multimolecular particles containing many different proteins, lipids, and RNAs. Recent advancements in mass spectrometry-based proteotype analysis strategies enable the sensitive and reproducible quantification of proteins across large patient cohorts ...

Early Cancer Detection: What's Going on and What's Next
Multicancer early detection (MCED) platforms have emerged as a promising strategy for the safe and effective early detection of multiple cancer types, with the potential to reduce metastatic burden and improve clinical outcomes, particularly for aggressive malignancies that lack effective population‐level screening.

Classification of mouse B cell types using surfaceome proteotype maps [PDF]
Abstract System-wide quantification of the cell surface proteotype and identification of extracellular glycosylation sites is challenging when samples are limited. Here, we miniaturize and automate the previously described Cell Surface Capture (CSC) technology, increasing sensitivity, reproducibility and throughput.
