Does a Breached Blood-Brain Barrier Cause Seizures in AD?
Researchers link age-related weakening of the barrier to TGFβ signaling, hyperexcitation, and cognitive problems. In rodents, TGFβ antagonists attenuate these effects, reducing seizures.

While gene-based therapy for late-onset AD may seem distant, rare neurological disorders could point the way.
Not Just Blood Pressure—Dietary Salt Linked to Tau Phosphorylation Time to Try Again: Gene-Based Therapy for Neurodegeneration Gene Therapies Enter Trials for Many Brain Pathologies—What about AD? Organized around 10 major themes, this year’s annual meeti
As gene therapy is making a comeback, scientists are exploring if it might prevent or reverse Alzheimer’s. Some of those treatments are permanent, heightening safety concerns.
Encouraged by success in treating infant spinomuscular atrophy, researchers are redoubling their efforts to target genetic causes of age-related neurodegeneration.
Specific patterns of expression defined distinct subtypes of neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia in this early affected brain region.
Brain biopsy tissue reveals that their transcriptomes shift by location, age, and disease.
In a mouse tauopathy model, knocking out the NLRP3 inflammasome prevented toxic tau from forming.
Based on preclinical data, researchers gave this antibiotic a shot in a two-year clinical trial. It did nothing to slow cognitive decline.
Cataloguing enhancer-promoter interactions in the four major cell types of the brain, researchers found that Alzheimer’s risk variants predominantly appeared in microglial enhancers.
The same endothelial cell response is found in various models of brain disease.
New data suggest that while peptides translated from an expansion in the C9ORF72 gene are toxic, they don’t directly interfere with nucleocytoplasmic transport.
No link found with amyloid deposition.
DAPPD suppressed neuroinflammation and preserved cognition in mouse models of amyloidosis, suggesting potential for treating Alzheimer’s disease.
While former professional soccer players have less risk for heart disease and cancer than the general population, they are five times more likely to die with a neurodegenerative disease in old age.
