RNA-Binding Protein Linked to Ataxin-2 toxicity

RESEARCH NEWS 2018-09-28 Research News An RNA-binding protein never before linked to neurodegeneration may conspire with ataxin-2 to decimate the neuronal transcriptome. According to a September 7 paper in Nature Communications, the cytoplasmic Staufen1 accrues in neurons when mu

Exercise Linked to Less Pathology, Better Function in Familial AD

RESEARCH NEWS 2018-09-27 Research News People with autosomal-dominant mutations in APP or presenilin genes develop early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Could a healthy lifestyle mitigate this genetic misfortune? A new study indicates that it may. A cross-sectional study of participan

In DIAN, Serial and Cross-Sectional Biomarker Trajectories Diverge

RESEARCH NEWS 2018-09-25 Research News Kiss those smooth, sigmoidal curves goodbye, and embrace the jumbled complexity of spaghetti plots. Longitudinal data charting the trajectories of a bevy of biomarkers in people with autosomal-dominant AD (ADAD) was published September 20 in

Flortaucipir Imaging Distinguishes Alzheimer’s From Other Disorders

RESEARCH NEWS 2018-09-21 Research News Most tau PET tracers detect only the type of misfolded tau found in Alzheimer’s disease. In the September 18 JAMA, researchers led by Rik Ossenkoppele at VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam, and Oskar Hansson at Lund University, Sweden,
