This article reviews clinical pharmacology in food animal production in Canada and Mexico. The authors discuss topics such as drug availability, the drug-approval process, availability (prescription or over-the-counter) of drugs to producers, withdrawal times, and extralabel drug use. Drugs that are prohibited and proactive measures for drug use in Canadian food animals also are reviewed.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized by the formation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) composed of tau aggregates. Research in animal models has generated hypotheses on the underlying mechanisms of the interaction between Aβ and tau pathology. In support of this interaction, results from clinical trials have shown that treatment with anti-Aβ monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) affects tau pathology.

For drugs with a novel mechanism of action, these problems are often greater. We describe Xanamem's clinical pharmacology, including the approach to dose selection and proof-of-concept studies.

Multiple loss-of-function variants strongly implicate TREM2 as a key regulator of Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Accordingly, TREM2 antibodies are currently in development to evaluate the therapeutic potential of TREM2 agonism in neurodegenerative diseases.

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.

We hypothesize that this larger variability is driven by comedications, common genotype variants and underlying tau pathology.
Method: In a previously calibrated computational neuroscience model of ADAS-Cog, we implemented the effect of soluble amyloid monomers and oligomers on glutamate and nicotinic AChR neurotransmission and the effect of intracellular tau oligomers on voltage-gated Na and K+ channels and synaptic density.
