Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-dependent neurodegenerative disorder with limited treatment options. As it progresses, synapse degeneration is the most important feature contributing to cognitive dysfunction. Mitochondria supply synapses with ATP for neurotransmitter release and vesicle recycling and buffer calcium concentrations.

AXS-05 (45-mg dextromethorphan/105-mg bupropion), a novel, oral NMDA receptor antagonist and sigma-1 receptor agonist, approved by the FDA for major depressive disorder, is being investigated for treatment of AD agitation (ADA). AXS-05 has been evaluated in 2 randomized, double-blind studies: Phase 2 ADVANCE-1 (NCT03226522); Phase 3 ACCORD (NCT04797715).

Expressed CHRFAM7A, a human restricted gene with carrier frequency of 75% in the human population predicts profound translational significance.
Method: The physiological role of CHRFAM7A in human brain is explored using multiomics approach on 600 post mortem human brain tissue samples (ROSMAP).

Background: Apolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) has been identified as the major genetic risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). Our lab has demonstrated that chronic administration of Aβ12-28P, a synthetic peptide that blocks apoE4/Aβ binding, in middle-aged transgenic AD mice significantly ameliorates pathology progression, resulting in reduced Aβ plaques deposition and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) along with improved memory and cognition. However, whether blocking apoE4/Aβ interaction by Aβ12-28P also has an ameliorating effect on the neuronal and cognitive function of old AD mice where Aβ pathology has been extensively developed remains unknown.

A therapeutic study of JNPL3 mice with chronic treatment from 7-12 months of age inhibited the progression of tau aggregation and improved motor coordination.
