To create this model, an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector encoding human tau with the P301L mutation was injected into the ventricles of neonatal mice. At 6 months of age, Tau P301L-AAV mice ...
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 ...

In trying to treat neuroinflammation, scientists need better ways to visualize microglia in the brains of living people. Current microglial PET tracers target the mitochondrial transporter TSPO, but ...
Mounting evidence links infections to a greater risk of dementia, and vaccination to neuroprotection. What underlies this relationship? In a preprint posted to Research Square on January 13, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
The APOE4 allele heightens the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in several ways. Here’s a new one: It may deprive neurons of a crucial fuel. In the October 16 Nature Metabolism, scientists led by Thomas ...
Phospho-tau217 has emerged as an excellent marker of the presence of amyloid pathology in the brain, but for markers of neurofibrillary tangles, fragments of tau’s microtubule binding region have a ...
Talk about a closely watched study. Conference after conference, Roche scientists running the ongoing Brain Shuttle AD trial of trontinemab are dispensing morsels of news from sequential interim ...
