Antisense Oligonucleotides: Can They Take on ALS, SMA, Prions? Drug Reported to Help Alzheimer’s Patients Sleep Better American Academy of Neurology 2019 Annual Meeting
Data on ASOs, presented recently at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, depict RNA-based therapies as broadly on the rise in neurodegenerative diseases.
In a new, inducible mouse model, poly(GR) damages mitochondria, but its effect is reversible. In flies, turning off transcription of hexanucleotide expansion protects cells.
Expression of VCAM1 on the endothelial cells that line the blood-brain barrier allowed aging factors in the plasma to exact their toll on the brain.
Lanabecestat, elenbecestat, and umibecestat all showed data at the AD/PD conference in Lisbon. Learn what definitely doesn’t work and what might yet.
Long recognized in dendrites, scientists now report that substantial synaptic proteome remodeling happens on the axonal side, too.
More mouse data add to the argument that a flashing light sequence could potentially fight cognitive decline.
The global agency’s report recommends physical activity, a healthy diet, stopping alcohol abuse and smoking, and managing one’s weight, blood pressure, and diabetes.
“We are learning” was the tenor of debate about the latest round of setbacks for anti-amyloid trials in symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease at a recent conference in Lisbon.
An electron microscopy study reveals a jumbled mess of membrane chunks and malfunctioning organelles, bound together by phosphorylated or truncated α-synuclein.
At AD/PD 2019, scientists implicated both peripheral and central innate immunity in promoting propagation.
As data increasingly blame the microglia response as a driving force in Alzheimer’s disease, researchers are investigating whether tempering these cells will aid cognition.
An FDA-approved insomnia drug lengthened total sleep time in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s, suggesting it might be able to lessen a troublesome symptom of the disease.
In the largest study yet to track tau via repeated PET scans, researchers found that tau pathology increased over baseline only in people with Aβ deposition. The more tau a person had at baseline, the more tau increased later on, and the more they slipped on cognitive tests.
In a research study, one-fifth of healthy people who learned they were at high risk for AD said they might consider physician-assisted death as a future option.
