A new study finds that the cancer drug imatinib does not lower Aβ in humans, casting doubt on a previously described relationship between imatinib, γ-secretase activating protein (GSAP), and Aβ.
Two new papers rekindle acrimonious debate about exactly what “loss-of-function” means when it comes to presenilin mutations in Alzheimer’s pathogenesis.
Presenilin 2 resides almost exclusively in late endosomes, multivesicular bodies, and lysosomes, where it generates a pool of aggregation-prone Aβ. Some PS-1 mutations phenocopy this intraneuronal distribution.
The EPOCH trial of verubecestat was halted for lack of efficacy. APECS trial in prodromal AD continues.
