“…The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare. and extracellular space [27], increasing the apparent MWF [28]. Since WM iron is predominantly found in myelin forming oligodendrocytes and contributes to lipid synthesis [29], the sensitivity of the short T2 component to both myelin and iron should be considered.…”

“…It is not yet clear what the underlying phenomena leading to brain iron accumulation in the context of AD are. However, it is likely that localized accumulation of iron might deprive other brain areas of this metal, thus impairing neuronal function 5 . Altered iron-homeostasis is reflected by the modified heavy-to-light (H/L) ratio of the chains composing the shell of ferritin proteins: AD brains present increased H/L ratio in the frontal cortex, as a possible means of copying with increased iron levels 39 .…”

“…These findings are of biological interest because magnetite, an iron-oxide mineral hosting both Fe(III) and Fe(II) in its crystal structure, has been proposed as a source of cellular toxicity, involving many different mechanisms. For example, in addition to the well known hypothesis that iron may produce reactive oxygen species via the catalytic Fenton reaction 4,5 , a more recent hypothesis concerns the effects of the magnetic field associated with the magnetic moment of these nanoparticles: a few studies have related the prolonged effect of such local static magnetic fields to a series of harmful biological phenomena, including protein structural alteration 6 and suppression of the threshold of the neuronal action potential 7 . Recent literature has suggested a relation between the presence of magnetite nanoparticles in the brain and the incidence of Alzheimer's pathology and its hallmark, amyloid beta plaques [8][9][10][11] .…”

“…cubic mm-sized voxels. This is possible because many aspects of MR physics are influenced by myelination (Does, 2018;Edwards et al, 2018;Möller et al, 2019;Novikov et al, 2019). Macromolecules in the myelin sheath influence relaxation rates (as measured by the longitudinal relaxation rate R1, the transverse relaxation rate R2, the effective transverse relaxation rate R2*, and myelin water fraction MWF) as well as magnetization transfer (MT; as quantified by the magnetization transfer ratio MTR, and the macromolecular pool size MP).…”
