REST and stress resistance in ageing and Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: It is shown that induction of the repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor (REST) is a universal feature of normal ageing in human cortical and hippocampal neurons, and levels during ageing are closely correlated with cognitive preservation and longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large eQTL meta-analysis reveals differing patterns between cerebral cortical and cerebellar brain regions.

TL;DR: A colocalization analysis is applied to identify genes underlying the GWAS association peaks for schizophrenia and identify a potentially novel gene colocalized with lncRNA RP11-677M14.
Journal ArticleDOI

REST and Neural Gene Network Dysregulation in iPSC Models of Alzheimer's Disease.

TL;DR: The iPSC-derived neural cells from SAD patients exhibit accelerated neural differentiation and reduced progenitor cell renewal, and a similar phenotype appears in NP cells and cerebral organoids derived from APOE4 iPSCs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of lifespan by neural excitation and REST

TL;DR: It is shown that extended longevity in humans is associated with a distinct transcriptome signature in the cerebral cortex that is characterized by downregulation of genes related to neural excitation and synaptic function, which reveals a conserved mechanism of ageing that is mediated by neural circuit activity and regulated by REST.
Journal ArticleDOI

Addendum: REST and stress resistance in ageing and Alzheimer’s disease

TL;DR: This corrects the article to show that the method used to derive the H2O2 “spatially aggregating force” is based on a two-step process, not a single step, called a “shots fired” process.
