A new class of AAVs has arrived. In six coordinated studies published on 21 May across Neuron, Cell, Cell Reports, and Cell Reports Methods, scientists unveil viral vectors fitted with ...

What goes wrong first in the Alzheimer’s disease brain? Scientists led by Marc Aurel Busche of the U.K. Dementia Research Institute at University College London may have an answer. In the May 7 Neuron ...

When cells are starved or distressed, RNA and RNA-binding proteins can coalesce into membraneless liquid droplets called stress granules. These shut down translation, helping cells conserve energy.

The transmembrane protein 119 has a new job. Long known as a marker that distinguishes homeostatic microglia from macrophages and other myeloid cells, the protein also helps clear amyloid from the ...

In a milestone for Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis and care, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on May 16 cleared for marketing the first AD blood test. Fujirebio’s Lumipulse G p-tau217/Aβ42 ...
