Sphere of Influence. In iAssembloids, microglia (red) form projections (white arrows), while astrocytes (green) assume star shapes typically found in the brain. [Courtesy of Kampmann et al., 2025.] ...

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 is a reversible, covalent, post-translational modification of proteins. It happens exclusively on lysine residues, where it influences protein structure, stability, localization, and ...

Submit applications for this initiative using one of the following notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs) or any reissues of these announcements through the expiration date of this notice: ...

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 ...

Butovsky believes xenon has potential as an AD treatment. A Phase 1 clinical trial of xenon at BWH is recruiting healthy elderly volunteers to test safety and effects on immune cells. “I hope this ...

Atlas Overview. A survey of regulatory RNA used two cohorts (A), six brain regions (B), and four AD traits (D) to examine four types of RNA (C), turning up more than 25,000 differences between AD and ...

Some researchers believe the brain makes Aβ to help fight bacterial and fungal invaders. Now comes evidence that p-tau may take on a similar role against viruses. In the January 2 Cell Reports, ...
