Pathways and Target Discovery: Bar Harbor 2002
A majority of investigators agree that AβPP processing, Aβgeneration, Aβ degradation, and Aβaggregation play a major role in Alzheimer's disease.
Lead Discovery: Bar Harbor 2002
Lead discovery is hampered by the absence of good cell-based assays in which to screen libraries against AβPP secretases and other targets.
Mouse Models: Bar Harbor 2002
A key controversy revolved around the value of available mouse models.
Infrastructure Development: Bar Harbor 2002
Future recommendations from the Enabling Technologies for Alzheimer's Disease Workshop in Bar Harbor, Maine.

Enabling Technologies 2001 Workshop Summary
In August 2001, a diverse group of academic and industry investigators from within and outside of Alzheimer's disease research participated in this workshop in Bar Harbor, Maine.
Summary of Scientific Discussions: Bar Harbor
Robert Balaban opened the discussion by observing that heart disease and AD research share certain characteristics, including a weak familial linkage, poor penetrance of some of the known risk factors, and a poor understanding of the interplay between environmental and behavioral factors with gene-gene interactions.
Summary of Technology Discussions: Bar Harbor
Tim Clark began by laying out recommendations about the information infrastructure required if many groups want to be able to do collective experimentation, to share data, and to exploit automated pattern recognition in that shared data.

In narrower claim, the drug is said to promote ApoE lipidation only in brain regions with extensive amyloid in mice carrying human ApoE4.
Lipoprotein Receptor Deficiency and Aβ—Spiraling Toward Alzheimer's?
Starved for a protein that regulates lipids, neurons suffer and Aβ production soars, according to a new study.
