Background: Genetic variants in GRN, the gene encoding progranulin, are causal for or are associated with the risk of multiple neurodegenerative diseases. Modulating progranulin has been considered as a therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative diseases including Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Here, we integrated genetics with proteomic data to determine the causal human evidence for the therapeutic benefit of modulating progranulin in AD.

Background: Accumulation of amyloid beta 42 (Aβ42) senile plaques is the most critical event leading to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Currently approved drugs for AD have not been able to effectively modify the disease. This has caused increasing research interests in health beneficial nutritious plant foods as viable alternative therapy to prevent or manage AD.

We present baseline characteristics across the geographical regions in evoke/evoke+.

Given the desirability of a more acceptable administration route for prolonged AD treatment, we assessed the efficacy of HY209 via oral delivery. This study aims to elucidate the therapeutic potential of NuCerin, an oral formulation of HY209, in the aforementioned AD model, while simultaneously identifying potential blood biomarkers indicative of NuCerin's therapeutic action.

The recent positive phase 3 clinical trials of new treatments and their licensing and roll-out in the US and other countries represents a major turning point in Alzheimer's disease research. As has been the case with many other diseases, e.g.
