Delve into how the biotech industry is pivoting from the amyloid hypothesis to find new Alzheimer's disease treatments.
A stem cell therapy trial aimed at reducing neuroinflammation in patients with presymptomatic Alzheimer’s disease is underway at UTHealth Houston.
which has just completed enrolment in a phase III trial of a tau-targeting drug in mild-to-moderate AD. Despite an R&D spend of around $15bn, a total of 20 beta amyloid protein-targeting drugs ...
Trontinemab is currently being studied in the Phase Ib/IIa Brainshuttle AD study assessing the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of trontinemab in participants with ...
Those findings were integrated with data collected from the participants on cerebrospinal fluid and brain-scan biomarkers of amyloid- β and tau protein, cognitive function, age, sex and Alzheimer ...
A comprehensive Thought Leaders Invited Review in Brain Medicine highlights the crucial role of CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). CD2AP influences amyloid-beta processing, ...
Current biomarkers of cognitive impairment in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease perform poorly. Now, a stronger predictor ...
The researchers have been testing amyloid-removing therapies ... with sticky plaques made from beta amyloid proteins and toxic tangles made of a protein called tau. They theorized that removing ...
For the first time, scientists say, they have evidence that using a biologic drug to remove sticky beta amyloid plaques from ...
Although there are many outstanding questions about Alzheimer’s and a significant lack of effective drugs, scientists believe a protein called amyloid-beta plays an important role in the condition.
