Paper Alert: Malformed Mitochondria in the Latest TDP-43 Mouse
16  August 2010. There is a new TDP-43 mouse in town...

  
γ-Secretase Modulators—More Substance for Substrate Theory
16  August 2010. A γ-secretase inhibitor that doesn’t block γ-secretase may seem like a bit of an oxymoron, but there are some compounds that appear to do just that...

  
Protein Aggregation: It’s Not Just for Disease Anymore
15  August 2010. A new study suggests that age-related protein aggregation might be widespread even in healthy organisms...

  
Triple Confirmation: AD Footprint in CSF of Cognitively Normal People
15  August 2010. In clinical research, a first-time finding may rouse intrigue, but it’s generally independent confirmations of the data that give them potential to leave an indelible mark...

  
Honolulu: Biomarker Profiles That Spell Trouble for ‘Normals’?
13  August 2010. Scientists have drafted a new set of diagnostic research criteria redefining AD as a condition that develops decades prior to obvious symptoms...

  
Anti-Aβ Oligomer Headed for Phase 3 Clinical Trial
13  August 2010. Top-line data announced this week from a Phase 2 clinical trial of the drug scyllo-inositol give cause to move to Phase 3...

13  August 2010. Yet again, lithium has failed to live up to its promise in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis...

  
DBS Update: Attempting to Stimulate Memory in Alzheimer’s
11  August 2010. Researchers are sliding electrodes into the brains of people with Alzheimer disease, hoping to awaken memories and stave off disease-induced forgetfulness...

  
Honolulu: Monkey, Rat Join Menagerie of Mammalian AD Models
11  August 2010. Beyond the lab mouse, AD researchers may have access to a growing repertoire of brainier, brawnier species for their in vivo studies...

  
Paper Alert: Grappling Globulomers Improves Mouse Cognition
8  August 2010. Antibodies to synthetic Aβ oligomers, or “globulomers,” improve cognition in a mouse model of Alzheimer disease...

  
Research Brief: FUS Rears Its Head in Juvenile ALS, Too
8  August 2010. ALS is tragic when it hits in late or middle age, but a rare juvenile form of the disease is all the more devastating...
