Protein misfolding and subsequent aggregation into insoluble amyloid deposits are associated with various diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, systemic amyloidosis, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In T2DM, the peptide hormone islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), which regulates glucose homeostasis, aggregates in the pancreas, forming soluble cyt ...

Background: It is unknown if prevalent vertebral fracture (PVFx) captured on bone density vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) images predicts incident CVD events. Methods: 11,760 individuals (mean [SD] age 75.7 [6.8] years, 94 % female) had VFA contemporaneously with bone densitometry in Manitob ...

The discovery that midbrain dopamine (DA) transients can be mapped onto reward prediction errors (RPEs), the critical signal that drives learning, is a landmark in neuroscience. Causal support for the RPE hypothesis comes from studies showing that stimulating DA neurons can drive learning under c ...
