Background: The DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP), a multi-target neuroprotective drug, improving cognitive impairment in patient with vascular cognitive impairment has been confirmed. The efficacy of NBP in patients with cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NBP in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD though a clinical randomized controlled trail.

Background: To help improve the Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapeutics research and development process, the Critical Path for Alzheimer's Disease (CPAD) Consortium at the Critical Path Institute (C-Path) provides a neutral framework for the drug development industry, regulatory agencies, academia, and patient advocacy organizations to collaborate. CPAD's extensive track record of developing regulatory-grade quantitative drug development tools motivates sponsors to share patient-level data and neuroimages from clinical trials. CPAD leverages these data and uses C-Path's core competencies in data management and standardization, quantitative modeling, and regulatory science to develop tools that help de-risk decision making in AD drug development.

Background: The first disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been approved in the USA, marking profound changes in AD-diagnosis and treatment. This will bring new challenges in terms of clinician-patient communication. We aimed to collect the perspectives of memory clinic professionals regarding the most important topics to address and what (tools) would support professionals and their patients and care partners to engage in a meaningful conversation on whether (or not) to initiate treatment.

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).

Background: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease associated with the accumulation of amyloid beta proteins to form plaques and the aggregation of hyperphosphorylated tau to form neurofibrillary tangles. Human fibroblast (SH-SY5Y) cells endogenously express Tau, and the expression is further amplified upon differentiation into neuronal cells, making it a cell model of Alzheimer's disease. Nigella sativa oil (NSO) contains 50% thymoquinone and has been used in the treatment of various nervous system disorders.
