The advisory committee voted 11 to 0 on both questions in favor of the approval of donanemab. The committee recognized, correctly I think, that the data supported a modestly favorable benefit to risk ...

Research over the last decade has shown that aggregated Aβ seeds can be transferred between people during rare medical procedures, sparking amyloidosis in the recipient. Could this result in ...

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 ...

The latest effort to rewrite the diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer’s disease has stirred more than a little controversy. While the proposed revisions have garnered praise from researchers for more ...

Meet the New Kid—Trontinemab Struts Its Stuff Roche’s brain shuttle is a Fab antibody fragment that binds the transferrin receptor. After binding this receptor on vascular endothelial cells, the ...

Earlier this year, a high-profile Science paper caused a stir with its claim that the brain has a fourth, previously unrecognized, meningeal membrane. Dubbed SLYM and containing Prox1+ cells, this ...
