TDP-43 Conference Marks Concerted Effort to Finally Snag Biomarkers Add To My AlzForum 30 Jun 2025 Steps Forward: Immunoassays for cryptic HDGFL2 flag TDP-43 proteinopathy in diverse disorders.
As reported in 1994, the original SOD1-G93A strain, designated G1, expressed approximately 18 copies of human SOD1, randomly inserted into the genome (Gurney et al., 1994). An unequal crossover event ...
Sensory Stimulation Systems, and GENUS, refer to a noninvasive procedure, i.e., a "digital therapeutic," being developed by Cognito Therapeutics. The company developed a wearable GammaSense ...
Score another one for amyloid immunotherapy. The anti-pyroglutamated amyloid antibody donanemab has posted positive top-line results in the Phase 3 Trailblazer-Alz2 study, according to an Eli Lilly ...
Today, Biogen and Eisai announced they would terminate the Phase 3 ENGAGE and EMERGE trials of aducanumab for early Alzheimer’s disease. A futility analysis run by an independent data-monitoring ...
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 Phase 2 trial, donanemab completely cleared plaque in two-thirds of participants. Their cognitive decline slowed by a third, meeting the primary endpoint. The treatment appeared to nudge down ...
Biogen’s hopes for a quick regulatory approval of its anti-Aβ antibody aducanumab may be dimming. An advisory panel convened by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was unimpressed by the evidence ...
After years of fits and starts, anti-amyloid immunotherapies are finally hitting their target effectively. At least four drugs have now demonstrated the ability to clear plaques from the brain: ...
Lecanemab binds protofibrils more tightly than fibrils, perhaps explaining lower ARIA rate. Use of plasma biomarkers brings down trial screening cost. Lecanemab has been selected for the first amyloid ...
Many people on aducanumab (trade name Aduhelm) develop the amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) that mark fluid retention and microhemorrhages in the brain. In the November 22 JAMA Neurology, ...
