To Recruit for Diverse Alzheimer Trials, Go to the People From St. Louis to Boston, Scientists Grapple with Ethnoracial Divide in AD Biomarkers Treat Before ‘Aβ Bothers Tau,’ Scientists Say at CTAD Moving Forward: RNA-Targeted Attempts at Taking Down Tau,
Across several studies, black/African Americans and Hispanic or Latino people had lower amyloid positivity rates than whites. Scientists are studying why.
Most participants in AD research studies and trials are non-Hispanic whites. At a conference in St. Louis, scientists discussed strategies to include diverse populations.
A cholesterol metabolite magnifies pathology in a tauopathy mouse. Microglia need cholesterol to rein in amyloid. ApoE4 jams the fat's export from neuron to glia.
Cutting (or Slippery?) Edge: Lipids in Neurodegeneration Science Does the Brain Use Microglia to Maintain Its Myelin? Cracking the Cholesterol-AD Code: Metabolites and Cell Type Can Flipping a Lipid Switch Protect the Brain? The average human brain contai
CMS has lifted restrictions that allowed beneficiaries one scan per lifetime as part of a clinical study. Approval of immunotherapies was a key factor.
