The Food and Drug Administration has said it will accept cognition alone as the basis for approval in preclinical AD. Now what? Industry is confronting the challenge to show robust and meaningful change.
In mice, a daily low dose restored regulatory T cells and held off symptoms of a demyelinating disease. Could an old, over-the-counter drug help with ALS, in which similar cells decline?
Swine that express mutated human SOD1 exhibit the hallmarks of ALS pathology, including aggregates and degeneration in motor neurons, preceded by a lengthy preclinical phase.
At an RNA metabolism meeting, scientists reported connections between C9ORF72 loss and gain of function. Their talks brimmed with new biology implicating autophagy, the cellular stress response, and RAN translation off introns.
It’s ‘And,’ Not ‘Either-Or’: C9ORF72 Mechanisms of Action are Linked Beyond the Nucleus: TDP-43 Sticks Together, For Better or Worse Going the Distance: FUS Travels to Terminals, Drops Off RNA When RNA transcripts aren’t processed properly or don’t make i
At a meeting in San Diego, researchers traded news about how TDP-43 gets trapped in the cytoplasm, finding both good and bad consequences of its exodus from the nucleus.
Scientists say chaperones keep FUS from joining up with aggregating proteins as FUS makes its way down axons to deliver RNAs for local translation. ALS/FTD mutations bungle the process.
11th ICFTD Meeting in Sydney Sorts Out Clinical Subtypes Natural History Studies Provide Foundation for FTD Research Tracking Onset and Progression of Frontotemporal Dementia A Proteomics Dive into Cause of Frontotemporal Dementia Encompassing more than h
Proteomics and protein-protein interaction research may yield clues to etiology, tracking, and treatment of granulin-related and other forms of FTD/ALS.
