Artificial intelligence learns to recognize subtle biochemical features of γ-secretase substrates. Screening potential transmembrane proteins identifies 250 substrates, including 160 novel ones. These ...

In Alzheimer’s disease, some microglia gather around plaques, while others seem aloof, opting to keep their distance. In the July 14 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Marco Prinz at the ...

Eight months after Eli Lilly reported that a more gradual titration for donanemab nearly halved the risk of ARIA-E, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given the modification the green light.

Why do some people age rapidly while others maintain their health well into their 80s and 90s? A new study suggests that maintaining “youthful” organs may be key. Scientists led by Tony Wyss-Coray at ...

κWhen microglia wind up with a belly full of lipid droplets, it’s a sign that the cells are rallying, perhaps in vain, to a neurodegenerative threat. But according to a study published July 10 in Cell ...

Discover a comprehensive list of brain banks worldwide, facilitating Alzheimer's and Parkinson's research on Alzforum.

Machine learning software sharpens the diagnostic utility of FDG PET scans. StateViewer told apart nine neurodegenerative diseases with 93 percent accuracy. Using the program made radiologists three ...

Mouse microglia got a genetic tune-up. On 9 June in Nature Aging, researchers led by Warren G. Tourtellotte at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles reported that expressing human ...

Dozens of rodents have been generated that model various aspects of ALS, like motor impairment or degeneration of motor neurons. No model recapitulates the human disease perfectly. By organizing ...

This widely used tauopathy model was developed at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine by Virginia Lee, John Trojanowski, and colleagues. As first reported in 2007 on a mixed background, ...

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 ...
