Researchers identify where proteases snip the microglial receptor TREM2 to release its extracellular domain: exactly at the site of a rare AD risk variant.
At a conference on lipids in the brain, scientists reported how unsaturated fatty acids might worsen or ameliorate the effects of proteinopathies.
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.
At Leiden conference, scientists discussed how shifting cells toward “specialized pro-resolving mediators” could counter inflammation.
A new study defined the location and expression profile of this astrocyte subtype, pegging the protein myocilin as a marker.
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.
Across several studies, black/African Americans and Hispanic or Latino people had lower amyloid positivity rates than whites. Scientists are studying why.
Scientists at AAIC said ARIA-E resembles inflammation related to cerebral amyloid angiopathy. The prime suspect? The complement cascade.
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
They can be neutralized by lecanemab, an anti-amyloid antibody designed to mop up Aβ protofibrils.
Phase 1b results tease that the small molecule PRI-002 might curb cognitive decline. Phase 2 is slated for early 2024.
Children lacking a gene needed for clearing away tired mitochondria develop a rare neurodegenerative disorder.
Scientists at AAIC debated discrepant results, updated a model of the biomarker-efficacy relationship, and debuted the CenTauR scale for tau PET.
This clarification comes after geriatricians argued that diagnosing AD in people without symptoms is premature, and the NIH pulled its name.
