Sex differences in depression: Insights from clinical and preclinical studies.
339
TL;DR: Evidence is provided to support the notion that differences in depression between men and women span multiple facets of the disease, including epidemiology, symptomology, treatment, and pathophysiology, and a more systematic consideration of biological sex as a variable in depression research will be critical in the discovery and development of pharmacotherapies that are efficacious for both men andWomen.

Global, regional, and national burden of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, 1990–2019
TL;DR: From 1990 to 2019, the Alzheimer's disease burden increased worldwide, especially among elderly populations in high-SDI areas, who should receive additional attention and policy-makers should take steps to reverse this situation.

Dissecting diagnostic heterogeneity in depression by integrating neuroimaging and genetics.
Amanda Buch,Conor Liston +1 more
TL;DR: Several promising areas for future research into the neurobiological underpinnings of heterogeneity are highlighted, including efforts to understand sexually dimorphic mechanisms, the longitudinal dynamics of depressive episodes, and strategies for developing personalized treatments and facilitating clinical decision-making.

An analysis of neuroscience and psychiatry papers published from 2009 and 2019 outlines opportunities for increasing discovery of sex differences
TL;DR: In this article , the authors surveyed papers published in 2009 and 2019 across six journals in neuroscience and psychiatry and concluded that progress to date has not been sufficient to address the importance of sex differences in research for discovery and therapeutic potential for neurological and psychiatric disease.
Alzheimer's pathogenic mechanisms and underlying sex difference.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the most recent data in sex differences in AD and present the gateway to precision medicine, therefore, shaping expert perspectives, inspiring researchers to go in new directions, and driving development of future diagnostic tools and treatments for AD in a more customized way.

Neurogenesis in the adult human hippocampus
Peter S. Eriksson,Ekaterina Perfilieva,Thomas Björk-Eriksson,Ann Marie Alborn,Claes Nordborg,Daniel A. Peterson,Fred H. Gage +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that new neurons, as defined by these markers, are generated from dividing progenitor cells in the dentate gyrus of adult humans, indicating that the human hippocampus retains its ability to generate neurons throughout life.
Sex differences in immune responses
Sabra L. Klein,Katie L. Flanagan +1 more
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.
Microglia: a sensor for pathological events in the CNS
TL;DR: An understanding of intercellular signalling pathways for microglia proliferation and activation could form a rational basis for targeted intervention on glial reactions to injuries in the CNS.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of studies measuring cytokine concentration in patients with major depression reports significantly higher concentrations of the proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6 in depressed subjects compared with control subjects, strengthening evidence that depression is accompanied by activation of the IRS.
