BANish Aβ? BAN2401 Antibody Makes Its Move in Phase 3 Program BAN2401 Forges AHEAD into Phase 3, Preclinical AD TRC-PAD Funnel Finally Touches Down Learning Troubles Spied by Smartphone Track with Biomarkers In Phase 2 Trial, Neflamapimod Aids Cognition ...
In mouse models of tauopathy, microglia populations are far from binary. Different activation stages emerge at different phases of disease, some marked by viral defense pathways.
New synaptic profiling and imaging techniques are enabling scientists to zero in on synaptic proteins, including phospho-tau, that make the difference between clinical Alzheimer’s and resilience.
Two cohorts—IDEAS and WHIMS—show Aβ accumulation and brain shrinkage in cognitively normal and impaired elderly who were exposed to levels of air pollution even within current EPA limits.
Researchers found that bits of tau from the protein’s microtubule-binding region can be detected in the cerebrospinal fluid. These, not phospho-tau or total tau, reflect neurofibrillary tangles in the Alzheimer’s brain.
In cultured cells, lysosomal activity was necessary to enable tau seeds to break out of internalized exosomes and trigger the aggregation of tau in the cytosol.
In Barcelona, data ran the gamut from a few hopeful little hints on new treatments to mixed signals on familiar players, and failed drugs thrown on the scrap heap.
Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, affecting about one percent of all people over the age of 65. It is characterized by rigidity, bradykinesia and tremors, which are caused by the progressive degeneration of dopamine-containing neurons...
Topline results suggested that the anti-inflammatory treatment stabilized cognition and function over six months. The trial did not include biomarkers.
Progressive supranuclear palsy is a poorly understood movement disorder that has come to be of intense interest to age-related neurodegenerative disease researchers...
