The paper identifies individuals with extreme polygenic risk scores (PRS) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and shows they have significantly elevated AD risk across multiple ancestries and APOE diplotypes.

The paper evaluates 1,752 polygenic risk score models for Alzheimer's disease and finds significant variability in results across methods and ancestries.

This study identifies that adventitial progenitor cells differentiate into elastogenic SMC-like cells, contributing to false lumen remodeling through de novo elastic fiber formation following aortic dissection.

This study shows that AngII infusion worsens aortic pathology in Fbn1C1041G/+ mice, leading to aortic rupture and branch aneurysms.

This study investigates calcium dynamics in reactive astrocytes and their coupling with cerebral arterioles in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model, finding impaired signaling fidelity between astrocyte endfeet and arterioles.

The paper examines transcriptomic changes in smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts from different embryonic origins in the proximal thoracic aorta under AngII infusion, finding modest differences between origins.

This study shows that deleting megalin in renal proximal tubule cells does not reduce atherosclerosis but causes tubulointerstitial nephritis in male mice fed a Western diet.

This study shows that BAPN induces distinct aortic pathologies in the ascending and descending thoracic aortas of young mice, with different structural and cellular changes in each region.

This study identifies two novel Alzheimer's disease-associated genes, DTNB and DLG2, by analyzing rare variants in whole-genome sequencing data from AD family datasets.

This study shows that renal angiotensinogen in nonhuman primates is mainly derived from the liver, as evidenced by reduced renal AGT levels after liver-specific AGT inhibition.
