CMS has lifted restrictions that allowed beneficiaries one scan per lifetime as part of a clinical study. Approval of immunotherapies was a key factor.
Adding palmitate makes an estrogen receptor linger at the synapse, curbing α-synuclein aggregation, motor deficits, and faulty memory. In mice.
Faulty lipid metabolism is being blamed for supercharging tau phosphorylation. Restoring lipid efflux protects the mouse brain.
Cryo-EM reveals a common conformational progenitor for tau filaments found in Alzheimer’s disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
In the dura, these lymphocytes release interleukin 17, activating perivascular macrophages. They curb cerebral blood flow, and mice become forgetful.
Proteins in human blood flag organ-specific accelerated aging and disease risk. For cognition, 49 proteins better predicted decline then did plasma p-tau 181.
The software could improve prognosis, speed referrals, for people with MCI, the developer claims.
A large, unbiased study found 125 proteins in the CSF that tick up or down in early familial AD. A set of nine identified FAD mutation carriers better than did Aβ and tau.
A new immunoassay detects N-terminal fragments of tau. They predict tangle accumulation, cortical atrophy, and cognitive decline.
In awake fruit flies, neurons pass toxic lipids to glia for storage. When the flies sleep, glia metabolize the fat to reset for a new day.
Mitochondrial activation waned in brain cells a year before mice developed plaques. Inhibiting the kinase GSK3β partially restored the organelles.
A deletion in the gene for a lysosomal ion channel popped out of a genomic analysis of LBD risk. So did rare structural variants in other FTD and ALS genes.
Mendelian randomization identified HDL cholesterol and systolic blood pressure as modifiable risk factors.
Cells of the neurovascular unit upregulate inflammation-related genes and stifle genes of the blood-brain barrier. The genes include 125 known to carry AD risk variants.
