To better model how neurons fire and interact with glia, some scientists place the cells into a brain or grow them in an organoid. Others have produced little spheres of human neural tissue by ...

The Amyloid—Tangle Connection. Aβ aggregates (green) hyper-excite neurons in tau epicenters and connected regions, strengthening that connectivity. This pushes tau propagation from one region to ...

EBP1 is low in Alzheimer’s disease brains, hinting at human relevance. “Our study suggests that … preservation of functional EBP1 could be a therapeutic strategy for AD,” the authors noted. The ...

Lactylation, a recently identified post-translational modification, has emerged as important for immune regulation, tissue repair, cancer cell metabolism, and now, potentially, Alzheimer’s disease. In ...

Could inhaling xenon gas help fight Alzheimer’s disease? In the January 15 Science Translational Medicine, scientists led by Oleg Butovsky at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, and David Holtzman ...

Several types of RNA help regulate gene expression, and a number of these transcripts have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. However, no one has comprehensively examined how the regulatory RNA ...

Missense mutations that derail SORL1 trafficking cause AD. Other variants shift AD risk in East Asians and Europeans. SORL1 dysfunction messes with endosomes in neurons, and with lysosomes in ...

This grant is for an allocation of CZI’s GPU resource (minimum request of 96 GPU). This is an in-kind award; there are no cash funds, financial contributions, or fees of any kind associated with the ...

Some drugs can activate AMPK, most prominently metformin, which is approved for diabetes and being trialed in dementia. Less well-known is aldometanib, developed by Lin’s team, which blocks aldolase, ...
