Open AccessA key role for neuropeptide Y in lifespan extension and cancer suppression via dietary restriction
Knowledge of genes essential for the life-extending effect of dietary restriction (DR) in mammals is incomplete. In this study, we found that neuropeptide Y (Npy), which mediates physiological adaptations to e...

Open AccessExploration of neuroanatomical characteristics to differentiate prodromal Alzheimer’s disease from cognitively unimpaired amyloid-positive individuals
Differentiating clinical stages based solely on positive findings from amyloid PET is challenging. We aimed to investigate the neuroanatomical characteristics at the whole-brain level that differentiate prodro...
