Background: Convergent evidence indicates that deficits in the endosomal recycling pathway underlies pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). SORL1 encodes the retromer-associated receptor SORLA that plays an essential role in recycling of AD-associated cargos such as the amyloid precursor protein and the glutamatergic AMPA receptor. Importantly, loss of function pathogenic SORL1 variants are associated with AD.

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.

Background: Cognitive dysfunction emerges as a manifestation of reduced estrogen levels following ovariectomy in an individual. However, the conventional use of estrogen replacement therapy could increase the risk of breast cancer and thromboembolism. Icariin is a natural compound that has been reported to be a neuroprotective agent against dementia.

Background: The TaRget Enablement to Accelerate Therapy Development of Alzheimer's Disease (TREAT-AD) Centers are dedicated to identifying and validating targets from the NIH Accelerating Medicines Partnership for Alzheimer's Disease (AMP-AD). The centers develop Target Enabling Packages (TEPs) to explore new therapeutic target hypotheses, moving beyond the traditional focus on amyloid or tau pathologies. In accordance with open science principles, data, methods, and tools are freely shared with the research community via an open-access platform, the AD Knowledge Portal.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Understanding the fundamental differences between the human and pre-human brain is a prerequisite for designing meaningful models and therapies for AD. 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).
