Background: CT1812 is an experimental therapeutic sigma-2 receptor modulator in development for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies. CT1812 reduces the affinity of Aβ oligomers to bind to neurons and exert synaptotoxic effects. This phase 2, multi-center, international, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessed safety, tolerability and effects of CT1812 on cognitive function in individuals with AD.

Pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown that FUS is capable of decreasing amyloid plaque load and stimulating neurogenesis in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) models, in addition to being safe for use in human patients. However, the effect of FUS-BBBO on neurons has not yet been characterized, despite its crucial role in cognition and regulating brain function.

Alzheimers Dement

Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo, Nigeria.
Background: In recent decades, epidemiological and experimental studies have looked into the role of pesticides, particularly the herbicide paraquat, in the development of Parkinson's disease. Horseradish tree (Moringa oleifera) is an ethnobotanical plant with lots of therapeutic potential, but there is a dearth of information on the bioactive properties of the seed alkaloid extracts.
Method: This study examined the modulatory effects of various concentrations of an alkaloid extract from the seeds of Horseradish Tree (Moringa oleifera) on the survival rate of flies exposed to paraquat, as well as certain biochemical and molecular markers related to Parkinson's disease in the heads of the flies.
Background: To improve clinical translatability of non-clinical in-vivo Alzheimer's disease (AD) models, a humanized APP knock-in mouse model (APP) was recently created (Xia, D. et al., 2022).

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Zaria, Kaduna, Nigeria.
Background: Studies suggest a potential link between stroke and Alzheimer's disease wherein stroke may serve as a trigger for the onset or acceleration of Alzheimer's pathogenesis as damage to the brain's blood vessels may lead to the accumulation of amyloid beta protein which is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. Recent research has shown that stroke treatment may hold the key to treating Alzheimer's disease. The anti-inflammatory potentials of Cholinergic signaling are a novel therapeutic target in memory decline associated with Alzheimer's.
