Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities, aka ARIA, are red flags on MRI scans. They alert clinicians that a patient on lecanemab or donanemab may be in danger. Yet early signs of ARIA can be subtle and ...
Scientists have attempted to bolster microglia in the Alzheimer’s brain by switching on TREM2 signaling, but so far, these efforts have met with little success. Might it work better to bypass TREM2 by ...
CpG 1018 is a proprietary immune adjuvant made up of short, unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG ODNs). Its components mimic bacterial DNA to activate innate immunity ...
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 ...
According to a recent study, the view that Alzheimer’s disease damages the brain irreversibly might need to change. In December 22 Cell Reports Medicine online, scientists led by Andrew Pieper of Case ...
On November 24, Novo Nordisk announced that the GLP-1 mimetic semaglutide had failed to slow progression of Alzheimer’s disease in two Phase 3 trials. Even though the cat was out of the bag, ...
