Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104, U.S.A., Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Background: The vicious cycle between depression and dementia increases the risk of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathogenesis and pathology. This study investigates therapeutic effectiveness versus side effects and the underlying mechanisms of intranasal dantrolene nanoparticles (IDNs) to treat depression behavior and memory loss in 5XFAD mice.

Method: 5XFAD and wild-type B6SJLF1/J mice were treated with IDNs (IDN, 5 mg/kg) in Ryanodex formulation for a duration of 12 weeks.

Background: Memory is influenced by epigenetic mechanisms that regulate gene expression. Histone acetyltransferases (HATs), and histone deacetylases (HDACs), are two competitive enzymes regulating histone acetylation. Histone acetylation is reduced in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains, and evidence has shown a synergistic regulation of HDACs and HATs activities.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.

Background: Our limited understanding of the mechanisms that trigger the emergence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has contributed to the lack of interventions that stop, prevent, or fully treat this disease. We believe that developing a nonhuman primate model of AD will be an essential step toward overcoming the limitations of other model systems and is crucial for investigating primate-specific mechanisms underlying the cellular and molecular root causes of the pathogenesis and progression of AD.

Method: The consortium successfully generated viable founders carrying PSEN1 mutations.

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).

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA.

Background: Recent anti-amyloid mAb trial results demonstrate slowing of Alzheimer's disease progression, but to date do not fully halt or reverse this progression. Optimization of anti-amyloid therapy (timing and duration of intervention, modality, combinations, biomarker guidance) is limited by incomplete understanding of the disease, such as relationship between amyloid and tau pathways. Mechanistic Alzheimer's progression modeling investigated how amyloid and tau pathologies are connected in driving progression.
