Alzheimers Dement

Background: The initiation of amyloid plaque deposition signifies a crucial stage in Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, which often coincides with the disruption of neural circuits and cognitive decline. While the role of excitatory-inhibitory balance is increasingly recognized in AD pathophysiology, targeted therapies to modulate this balance remain underexplored. This study investigates the effect of perampanel, a selective non-competitive AMPA receptor antagonist, in modulating neurophysiological changes in hAPP-J20 transgenic Alzheimer's mice.

Method: We performed comprehensive human genetic and multi-omics data analyses to test likely causal relationship between EPHX2 (encoding soluble epoxide hydrolase [sEH]) and risk of AD. Next, we tested the effect of the oral administration of EC5026 (a first-in-class, picomolar sEH inhibitor) in a transgenic mouse model of AD-5xFAD and mechanistic pathways of EC5026 in patient induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) derived neurons.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN, USA.
Background: Focusing on novel AD treatments, the TREAT-AD centers offer an array of free research tools, shared via the AD Knowledge Portal in a Target Enablement Package (TEP). This abstract showcases the research conducted by the IUSM-Purdue TREAT-AD Center, specifically focusing on Targeting class-II PI3K's as a potential breakthrough in AD therapy. Endocytosis within the brain encompasses diverse pathways for internalizing extracellular cargoes and receptors into cells.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Southern California, San Diego, USA.
Background: Recruitment of demographically diverse participants into Alzheimer's disease (AD) clinical trials, encompassing both screening and randomization, remains a consistent and persistent challenge contributing to underrepresentation of certain groups. Despite the exciting prospects of identifying therapeutic interventions for biomarker-eligible, cognitively unimpaired individuals, these studies grapple with the inherent complexities of AD trials coupled with intricate and time-consuming screening processes. Addressing this the issue of underrepresentation necessitates concerted and intentional efforts that prioritize inclusivity and equitable access to enroll adults meeting study criteria, reflecting the demographic and social diversity of North America.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), Bonn, Germany.
Numerous drugs (including disease-modifying therapies, cognitive enhancers and neuropsychiatric treatments) are being developed for Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD). Emerging neuroimaging modalities, and genetic and other biomarkers potentially enhance diagnostic and prognostic accuracy. These advances need to be assessed in real-world studies (RWS).
