Based on the principle of molecular splicing and theory of traditional Chinese medicine pairs, a new multi-active compound (HM475) was synthesized by connecting metformin with honokiol, and its structure was characterized, which not only reduced the toxicity of raw materials, but also maintained the original activity, and had a certain significance in research and innovation. At the same time, quality control and preliminary activity evaluation were carried out, and the effect of HM475 on neuroinflammation was further explored, which provided a new idea for drug development of neurodegenerative diseases.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Background: Clinical trials should strive to yield results that are clinically meaningful rather than solely relying on statistical significance. However, the determination of clinical meaningfulness of dementia clinical trials lacks standardization and varies based on the trial's nature. To tackle this issue, a proposed approach involves assessing the time saved before reaching a specific threshold in cognitive status.

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.

Multifaceted issues plague such trials, emphasizing susceptibility to fraud from clinical sites and "professional patients". The relative ease of simulating Alzheimer's diagnosis, coupled with inadequate oversight by Contract Research Organizations (CROs), creates fertile ground for deceptive practices.

December 2024
University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: The progressive nature of dementia and the complex needs means that people living with dementia require tailored approaches to address their changing care needs over time. These include physical multimorbidity, psychological, behavioural, and cognitive symptoms and possible risks arising from these and helping family caregivers. However, provision of these interventions is highly variable between and within countries, partly due to uncertainty about their efficacy and scarce resources.

December 2024
German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), site Rostock/Greifswald, Greifswald, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.
Background: Given that the majority of people with dementia live in their homes in the community and are primarily cared for by informal caregivers, there is a growing interest in developing interventions suitable for this setting. Further, it is important to establish how music selections can differentially affect PwD. In this pilot trial, we thus compare two caregiver-delivered music listening MBIs with care-as-usual.
