Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Florida / Center for Translational Research in Neurodegenerative Disease, Gainesville, FL, USA.
Background: Vaxxinity is developing an active immunotherapy targeting Tau for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other tauopathies. VXX-301 is a multi-epitope vaccine designed to target the N-terminal and repeat domains of Tau. This design enables targeting multiple forms of Tau thought to contribute to Tau associated pathologies.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Genetic studies indicate a causal role for microglia, the innate immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS), in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Despite the progress made in identifying genetic risk factors, such as CD33, and underlying molecular changes, there are currently limited treatment options for AD. Based on the immune-inhibitory function of CD33, we hypothesize that inhibition of CD33 activation may reverse microglial suppression and restore their ability to resolve inflammatory processes and mitigate pathogenic amyloid plaques, which may be neuroprotective.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, USA.
Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified close to one hundred loci associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. However, for most of these loci we do not understand the underlying mechanism leading to disease. Crispr genome editing in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) provides a model system to study the effects of these genetic variants in a disease relevant cell type.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN, USA.
Background: SHIP1 is a phosphatidyl inositol phosphatase encoded by INPP5D, which has been identified as a risk gene for Alzheimer's disease (AD). SHIP1 is expressed in microglia, the resident macrophage in brain. It is a complex, multidomain protein that acts as a negative regulator downstream from TREM2.

We and others have used these cortical organoids to model dominantly inherited FTD-tau. While these studies have provided essential insights, cortical organoid models have yet to reach their full potential.
