The protease suppresses Aβ in Down’s syndrome organoids.
Two studies reveal new aspects of the neurovascular physiology that regulate the flow of oxygenated blood into the brain’s arterioles and capillaries in response to neuronal stimulation.
Vision improved in some retinitis pigmentosa patients in a Phase 1 trial.
At the HAI 2020 conference, the tracers PI-2620 and APN-1607 appeared to bind frontotemporal dementia tau. MK-6240 looked highly sensitive. And JNJ-067 and SNFT-1 are two new kids in town.
Amyloid and tau PET are helping scientists pinpoint the underlying cause of specific AD symptoms. Perhaps imaging of certain brain regions will help predict an individual’s progression.
Two epigenetic proteins accelerated age-related behavioral decline in worms and in mice, at least partly by dampening mitochondrial function. Orthologs in the human brain ramped up with aging and with AD progression.
At HAI 2020, scientists more precisely quantified the relationship between plaques, tangles, and cognitive decline.
By engaging scientists studying every tau-based disorder, a new conference aimed to foster collaborations and research directions.
Centenarians who scored high on the MMSE stayed cognitively and physically active over the next two years, even if they carried genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s. What protects these lucky few?
At the at Tau2020 conference, scientists show high-resolution cryoEM of α-synuclein. Two different types of fibril are composed of asymmetric protofibril units.
Not sure where that is? You are not alone. It is a tiny spot deep behind the nose, newly defined by the PET signal of early neurofibrillary tangle deposition. It also prompted a tau-staging scheme.
Autopsy data confirm that current tau PET tracers are unsuitable for some primary tauopathies. CryoEM structures help researchers find new ligands for tau and α-synuclein.
At Tau2020 conference, scientists implicate LDL receptor-related protein 1 in cell-to-cell transmission.
The monoclonal antibody activated TREM2 signaling on mouse microglia. It supported their survival and stimulated their clearance of amyloid plaques.
