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 ...

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 ...

Eisai and Biogen yesterday announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 Clarity trial of their anti-amyloid antibody lecanemab. The drug slowed decline on the primary endpoint, CDR-SB, by 27 ...

Will Biogen’s aducanumab become the first drug approved to slow progression of Alzheimer’s disease? Biogen’s licensing application for the biologic ran into headwinds at a U.S. Food and Drug ...

A potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease relies on 40 Hz light or sound to entrain gamma rhythms in the brain. This intervention, pioneered by Li-Huei Tsai and colleagues at Massachusetts ...

Alzheimer’s researchers have long wished for better mouse models. That is now coming true. Scientists at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine, are cranking out numerous lines that express ...

In a draft decision, the CMS proposed covering Aduhelm only in clinical trials. Most Alzheimer’s researchers support the proposal. Some challenged its practicality. The manufacturers of the other anti ...

TRAILBLAZER-2, a Phase 3 study, has enrolled 1,600 participants. Prescreening with plasma p-tau-181 helped select people with both amyloid and tau pathology. A secondary prevention trial, ...

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 ...

Not so long ago, a blood test for Alzheimer’s disease seemed a pipe dream. Now, after years of study, the field is awash with sensitive assays that signal the proteopathic culprits Aβ and tau ...

While scientists know that age-related hearing loss increases a person’s risk of dementia, their view of how vision loss affects cognition is fuzzy. It may be coming into focus, though. Recently, ...
