Term covers tauopathy in the absence of Aβ, regardless of cognitive state.
Trophic factor may rejuvenate aging cells and protect neurons.
Researchers detect aberrant methylation in genome regions that associate with late-onset AD.
Confirming hints from case reports, the Genetic FTD Initiative, a European-Canadian frontotemporal dementia network, shows which brain areas change long before tau, progranulin, and C9ORF72 mutation carriers become symptomatic.
Not to be outdone by ongoing FTLD cohort studies underway mostly in Europe, U.S.-Canadian studies are now forging structured networks to track presymptomatic and symptomatic cases and to engage a panoply of funders and advocacy groups in a clinical trials initiative.
You might not think it possible to assemble large, longitudinal cohorts of loyal study subjects for rare dementias marked by apathy and emotional blunting. Think again—at the International Conference for Frontotemporal Dementia, researchers showed that they just did it.
