After shutting down a Phase 3 program last March, Biogen now says the futility analysis it did was incorrect, and that a new analysis of a larger dataset in fact supports filing for FDA marketing approval next year.
A chemist at the University of Cambridge, Dobson developed equations that described the kinetics of protein aggregation in diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
GV-971, an oligosaccharide derived from marine kelp, was approved to treat AD in China. Preclinical studies suggest the drug soothes neuroinflammation by balancing the gut microbiome.
Researchers induced cortical organoids to grow their own vasculature and even form a blood-“brain” barrier, making the little blobs more useful for studying disease.
By analyzing a single MRI scan, researchers pinpointed the origin of frontotemporal dementia pathology and predicted its future progression.
DAPPD suppressed neuroinflammation and preserved cognition in mouse models of amyloidosis, suggesting potential for treating Alzheimer’s disease.
In a mouse tauopathy model, knocking out the NLRP3 inflammasome prevented toxic tau from forming.
Biogen and Eisai announced the discontinuation of the Phase 3 program. Elenbecestat was the only remaining BACE inhibitor being tested for AD.
The same endothelial cell response is found in various models of brain disease.
Specific patterns of expression defined distinct subtypes of neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia in this early affected brain region.
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 organelles express unique sets of proteins depending on their environment. Astrocyte mitochondria process lipids better than those in neurons.
New data strengthen the idea that a healthy locus coeruleus keeps memory sharp into old age.
In induced human microglia, the E4 allele profoundly affected their health and cellular responses, while familial Alzheimer’s mutations had little effect.
Sedentary mice infused with the plasma of active ones had more newborn neurons in the brain and less neuroinflammation. Exercising upped plasma clusterin in mice and in humans.
