Nearly 30 years after the first Alzheimer’s gene discoveries, genetics once again drives recruitment, scientific progress, and therapy development in the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer’s Network.
A brother’s survival guilt, a journalist tracing her mutation to Lebanon, a student freezing her eggs ahead of a primary prevention trial—DIAN family members are stirring their growing community to act against Alzheimer’s disease.
Too much or too little serum hemoglobin increases risk for Alzheimer’s and other dementias by 20 percent or more.
RPS25 helps translate repetitive snippets of RNA that are associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Knocking it down reduces protein aggregates and cell death.

Analysis of a chimeric mouse shows that the cells express the same genes they do in the human brain, survey their environment, and respond to injuries and amyloid.
The company halted its Phase 2 trial of ABBV-8E12 due to lack of efficacy.
In mice, the back of the brain, near the neck, contains lymphatic vessels that are specialized to take up cerebrospinal fluid and deliver it to cervical lymph nodes.
Middle-aged people who exercise more are less likely to become amyloid-positive. In late life, people with brain amyloid who exercise declined more slowly and had less brain shrinkage over the following years.
Longitudinal data identifies four stages of amyloid plaque buildup, with the earliest deposits appearing in the precuneus and posterior cingulate.
