A group of scientists argue, in a review published in Fluids and Barriers of the CNS earlier this year, that it’s time to adopt a more apt metaphor. Jan Pieter Konsman and Jerome Badaut of the ...

Scientists are honing transferrin receptors to whisk bulky, anti-Aβ antibodies throughout the brain without setting off ARIA and anemia. By halving the effector function of their antibody transport ...

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) often strikes our most human traits, such as the ability to speak and to interact on social and emotional levels. Now, research led by Lorenzo Pasquini and William Seeley ...

Two of the groups reported that cultured human oligodendrocytes make as much or more Aβ than do neurons, and that ...

DEPTAC. Based on PROTACs, or protein-targeting chimeras, D20, a dephosphorylation-targeting chimera, delivers PP1 to tau. The C-terminal tail (gray) helps the construct enter cells. [Courtesy of Xiao ...

A new single-cell omics model might help scientists better understand brain function. As reported in the September 24 Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by Kate Meyer, Duke University, Durham, North ...

L444P KI mice were generated using a loxP replacement vector, resulting in the insertion of a point mutation of leucine to proline (L444P) in exon 10 of the Gba1 gene (Ginns et al., 2014). These Gba1 ...
