Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The bone-brain axis has emerged as a critical framework linking skeletal metabolism to neurodegeneration. Within this axis, bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) represents a unique fat depot with distinct endocrine and hematopoietic functions, yet its contribution to Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unclear. METHODS: We conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genome-wide...
