CONFERENCE COVERAGE 2001-08-06 Conference Coverage In August 2001, a diverse group of academic and industry investigators from within and outside of Alzheimer's disease research participated in this workshop in Bar Harbor, Maine. The goal was to identify critical knowledge gaps th
CONFERENCE COVERAGE 2001-08-06 Conference Coverage Robert Balaban opened the discussion by observing that heart disease and AD research share certain characteristics, including a weak familial linkage, poor penetrance of some of the known risk factors, and a poor understanding of the i
CONFERENCE COVERAGE 2001-08-06 Conference Coverage Tim Clark began by laying out recommendations about the information infrastructure required if many groups want to be able to do collective experimentation, to share data, and to exploit automated pattern recognition in that shared dat

RESEARCH NEWS 2001-08-01 Research News In the search for those mostly still-elusive SNPs that are widely thought to predispose to complex, multigenic diseases such as schizophrenia and heart disease, one technical hurdle that slows down the search is the sheer amount of sequencin
RESEARCH NEWS 2001-07-26 Research News As the political debate about stem cell research heats up once again, scientists continue to wrestle with the most fundamental questions about these cells: Where do they come from? Are the stem cells scientists have extracted from the adult
RESEARCH NEWS 2001-07-25 Research News It has been clear for a number of years that iron accumulates in areas such as the hippocampus in Alzheimer's disease and the substantia nigra in Parkinson's disease. Just what this means is uncertain, especially in given that iron
COMMENT Reply to Dr. Wong by Ming Chen First, let me take this opportunity to thank Drs. Wong, Scatty and Aldoso for raising in-depth and sharp questions. In science, asking the right questions sometimes can be as important as solving them. The AD field today nee
RESEARCH NEWS 2001-07-18 Research News Thirty European Alzheimer's Disease Centers of excellence and one nongovernmental organization, Alzheimer Europe, have established a network to carry out multicentre interventional trials under the auspices of the European Commission. T
RESEARCH NEWS 2001-07-12 Research News It has become part of the standard lore on Alzheimer's that a series of enzymes-dubbed α-, β-, and γ-secretase-successively chops away at the APP cell-surface protein, and that one product of γ-secretase is the infamous Aβ-peptide. Yet
RESEARCH NEWS 2001-07-07 Research News Using different approaches, two recent animal studies have reported some success toward achieving a goal common to several experimental AD therapies: both methods significantly lowered the Aβ burden in the brain. In last month's Neuron,
RESEARCH NEWS 2001-07-01 Research News Most research trying to coax adult central nervous system neurons into repairing nerve injury focuses on the environment through which regenerating neurons have to extend new growth cones and axons. A study published today in the Journal of
COMMENT A very stimulating hypothesis. But, a problem is that it is all based on your findings in a single experimental paper suggesting that alpha-secretase may be a calpain. At the same time, however, there are over 50 or so proteases being also proposed today
