Steps Forward: Immunoassays for cryptic HDGFL2 flag TDP-43 proteinopathy in diverse disorders. Companies have moved a PET ligand into Phase 1 trials.

As reported in 1994, the original SOD1-G93A strain, designated G1, expressed approximately 18 copies of human SOD1, randomly inserted into the genome (Gurney et al., 1994). An unequal crossover event ...

Sensory Stimulation Systems, and GENUS, refer to a noninvasive procedure, i.e., a "digital therapeutic," being developed by Cognito Therapeutics. The company developed a wearable GammaSense ...

Score another one for amyloid immunotherapy. The anti-pyroglutamated amyloid antibody donanemab has posted positive top-line results in the Phase 3 Trailblazer-Alz2 study, according to an Eli Lilly ...

This database is a repository of normal genetic variability, designed to be a tool for researchers who study neurodegenerative disease. It contains whole-exome sequencing results from nearly 500 ...

In a Phase 2 trial, donanemab completely cleared plaque in two-thirds of participants. Their cognitive decline slowed by a third, meeting the primary endpoint. The treatment appeared to nudge down ...

If enhancing memory with light and sound seems futuristic, then welcome to the future. Or so some scientists say. Results from four early stage clinical trials on mild Alzheimer’s disease were ...

Rare variants in TREM2 and PLCG2 influence a person’s odds of developing Alzheimer’s disease, but that is far from all the two genes have in common. According to a study published June 8 in Nature ...

Amyloid PET scans led to a small drop in hospitalizations, but missed the prespecified endpoint. Researchers are still analyzing the data and running add-on studies in this huge cohort. IDEAS 2 will ...

Studies aim to validate Alzheimer's disease blood tests against gold standard biomarkers in primary care. Scientists ask how best to incorporate AD blood tests into existing healthcare systems. Some ...
