A single-nucleus transcriptomic atlas spanning the human lifespan is used to show that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex exhibits non-linear, cell-type-specific transcriptional trajectories characterized by dynamic remodelling during development, relative stability in midlife and selective molecular reactivation in la...

The complexity of Alzheimer's disease (AD) manifests in diverse clinical phenotypes, including cognitive impairment and neuropsychiatric symptoms. However, the etiology of these phenotypes remains elusive. To address this, the PsychAD project generated a population-level single-nucleus RNA sequencing dataset comprising...

It is shown that a disease-associated microglial subtype, characterized by elevated GPNMB expression and enriched for polygenic AD risk, expands with AD pathology and shows increased phagocytic activity, and MITF is identified as an upstream regulator required to maintain this microglial state.
