This rare insertion has been identified in three Japanese families with disorders in the frontotemporal dementia (FTD) spectrum, although some members have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease (PD) ...
The App SAA mouse joins a list of knock-in models that carry a humanized Aβ sequence within the murine App gene (App knock-in (humanized Aβ), APP NL-F Knock-in, APP NL-G-F Knock-in). As in the latter ...
DZNE maintains a brainbank at five different sites in Germany, at Bonn, Dresden, Munich, Rostock/Greifswald and Tübingen.
Background Acute administration of nicotine to AD patients improved accuracy of delayed recall, as well as deficits in attention and information processing (Sahakian et al. 1989; Wesnes and Warburton, ...
These mice have a targeted deletion in the mouse gene β-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1). Homozygous mice are viable, fertile, normal in size, and do not display any gross physical or behavioral ...

This APP transgenic overexpresses mutant human APP under the control of the Thy-1.2 promoter, driving neuronal expression. The transgene carries two mutations associated with familial Alzheimer’s ...
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 ...
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 ...
Buoyed by data crediting amyloid removal with ever-so-slightly slowed cognitive decline, many scientists are now optimistic about the prospects for anti-amyloid immunotherapy. Four “-mabs”—of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
