Amyloid immunotherapies are here, but inflammaging remains a powerful driver of neurodegenerative disease. Neuroinflammation is a rich, but thus far quite elusive, source of new drug targets. Some ...

More Antibodies take aim at seeded propagation. New data ties tangle location to deficits in specific cognitive domains. Three first-in-human studies for antibodies targeting different parts of tau ...

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 ...

In a watershed moment for the field, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved the first Alzheimer’s treatment that tackles the underlying disease pathology. Biogen and Eisai’s anti-amyloid ...

The Alzheimer’s field was rocked this week by allegations against Sylvain Lesné at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. Lesné stands accused of manipulating data images in multiple papers, ...

The slight slowing of cognitive decline achieved by Leqembi and perhaps by Aduhelm has revived debate around how much change is needed to be “clinically meaningful.” Two recent papers—one a report ...

The top-line results last September from Eisai’s Phase 3 trial of the anti-amyloid antibody lecanemab galvanized the field, but scientists said they needed to see the data before passing judgement.

Part 1 of 2. Click here for Part 2. As Alzheimer’s clinicians across the U.S. started offering a disease-modifying treatment to their patients, uptake at first was slow but is now speeding up. Six ...

Eisai and Biogen yesterday announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 Clarity trial of their anti-amyloid antibody lecanemab. The drug slowed decline on the primary endpoint, CDR-SB, by 27 ...

Results of the eagerly awaited Phase 3 clinical trial of LMTM, a derivative of the dye methylene blue, generated consternation at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference 2016, held July ...

Time to rewrite the brain anatomy textbook? In addition to the outermost dura, middle arachnoid, and innermost pia membranes surrounding the brain, researchers led by Kjeld Møllgård, University of ...

Cytotoxic T cells are star players in the adaptive immune system, enforcing protection against invading viruses or cancer cells. However, evidence has been mounting that the cells may also deal a ...
