Exploring Sex-Related Differences in Microglia May Be a Game-Changer in Precision Medicine

TL;DR: This review will consider how age impacts on sex-related differences in microglia and ask whether the advancement of personalized medicine demands that a greater focus is placed on studying sex- related differences inmicroglia in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease and models of inflammatory stress and trauma in order to make true progress in dealing with these conditions.

Predictive metabolic networks reveal sex‐ and APOE genotype‐specific metabolic signatures and drivers for precision medicine in Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: These findings provide an initial but critical step in developing a diagnostic platform for personalized medicine by integrating metabolomic profiling and cognitive assessments to identify targeted precision therapeutics for AD patient subgroups through computational network modeling.

Long noncoding RNA XIST: Mechanisms for X chromosome inactivation, roles in sex-biased diseases, and therapeutic opportunities

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors summarize the current knowledge about the mechanisms for XIST-mediated XCI and the roles of XIST in sex-biased diseases, and discuss potential therapeutic strategies targeting XIST.

The Emergence of Model Systems to Investigate the Link Between Traumatic Brain Injury and Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: This review will discuss the various in vivo and in vitro models that are being employed to provide more definite mechanistic relationships between TBI-induced mechanical injury and AD-related phenotypes and how emerging methods including the use of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cultures and genome engineering technologies can be employed to generate better models of TBO-induced AD.

Impact of Behavioral Assessment and Re-Test as Functional Trainings That Modify Survival, Anxiety and Functional Profile (Physical Endurance and Motor Learning) of Old Male and Female 3xTg-AD Mice and NTg Mice with Normal Aging

TL;DR: In the AD-genotype, females achieved the best performance in physical endurance and motor learning, while males showed a deterioration in most studied variables.

Sex differences in immune responses

TL;DR: It is emphasized that sex is a biological variable that should be considered in immunological studies and contribute to variations in the incidence of autoimmune diseases and malignancies, susceptibility to infectious diseases and responses to vaccines in males and females.

A Unique Microglia Type Associated with Restricting Development of Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: A novel microglia type associated with neurodegenerative diseases (DAM) is described and it is revealed that the DAM program is activated in a two-step process that involves downregulation of microglian checkpoints, followed by activation of a Trem2-dependent program.

Estrogen plus progestin and the incidence of dementia and mild cognitive impairment in postmenopausal women: the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: Estrogen plus progestin therapy increased the risk for probable dementia in postmenopausal women aged 65 years or older and did not prevent mild cognitive impairment in these women, supporting the conclusion that the risks of estrogen plus progESTin outweigh the benefits.
