Smell, an underrated early biomarker for brain aging

Brai, Emanuele ; Hummel, Thomas ; Alberi, Lavinia

In: Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020, vol. 14, p. -

Olfaction is in addition to touch the most ancient of our senses, developing already in the womb it decays progressively from 65 years of age with a more pronounced impairment associated with dementia. Despite its clinical relevance and testing accessibility, smell remains an overlooked biomarker, which is rarely used by neurologists in the early screening phase. In this perspective article,...

Olfactory dysfunction in the pathophysiological continuum of dementia

Bathini, Praveen ; Brai, Emanuele ; Alberi Auber, Lavinia

In: Ageing Research Reviews, 2019, vol. 55, p. 100956

Sensory capacities like smell, taste, hearing, vision decline with aging, but increasing evidence show that sensory dysfunctions are one of the early signs diagnosing the conversion from physiological to pathological brain state. Smell loss represents the best characterized sense in clinical practice and is considered as one of the first preclinical signs of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s...

CCR6 is expressed on an IL-10-producing, autoreactive memory T cell population with context-dependent regulatory function

Rivino, Laura ; Gruarin, Paola ; Häringer, Barbara ; Steinfelder, Svenja ; Lozza, Laura ; Steckel, Bodo ; Weick, Anja ; Sugliano, Elisa ; Jarrossay, David ; Kühl, Anja A. ; Loddenkemper, Christoph ; Abrignani, Sergio ; Sallusto, Federica ; Lanzavecchia, Antonio ; Geginat, Jens

In: Journal of experimental medicine, 2010, vol. 207, no. 3, p. 565-577

Interleukin (IL)-10 produced by regulatory T cell subsets is important for the prevention of autoimmunity and immunopathology, but little is known about the phenotype and function of IL-10–producing memory T cells. Human CD4+CCR6+ memory T cells contained comparable numbers of IL-17– and IL-10–producing cells, and CCR6 was induced under both Th17-promoting conditions and upon tolerogenic...

How Does Food Taste in Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa? : A Protocol for a Quasi-Experimental, Cross-Sectional Design to Investigate Taste Aversion or Increased Hedonic Valence of Food in Eating Disorders

Garcia-Burgos, David ; Maglieri, Sabine ; Vögele, Claus ; Munsch, Simone

In: Frontiers in Psychology, 2018, vol. 9, no. 264, p. 1-12

Background: Despite on-going efforts to better understand dysregulated eating, the olfactory-gustatory deficits and food preferences in eating disorders (ED), and the mechanisms underlying the perception of and responses to food properties in anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) remain largely unknown; both during the course of the illness and compared to healthy populations. It is,...
