A new p-Tau212 assay shows promise as a plasma biomarker of #alzheimersdisease, rivaling the performance of p-Tau217. @goteborgsuni ow.ly/kWKk50RktPT
Peptides possess the power to spark propagation of tau fibrils, or to dismantle fibrils entirely. Two studies point to therapeutic strategies for tauopathies. @ucsantabarbara @UCLA ow.ly/fGY750RkjcX
At #ADPD, scientists showcased preclinical efforts to target microglia in AD, by activating TREM2, blocking CD33, and stopping ASC specks. @adpdnet ow.ly/EnVX50Rk9t3
At #ADPD, scientists parsed microglial and astrocytic contributions to AD pathophysiology. Microglia change their tune as disease worsens. @adpdnet ow.ly/3rh850RftJN
Sumoylation influences tau phosphorylation and aggregation, with SUMO1 promoting, and SUMO2 preventing, these processes. #alzheimersdisease @adpdnet @Columbia @MarioNegriIRCCS @UofT ow.ly/87NR50Rfh1v
Microglia expressing the inhibitory receptor LILRB4 laze around plaques in #Alzheimersdisease and amyloidosis mice. An antibody against LILRB4 stirred microglia to engulf Aβ fibrils and lower plaque load. @WUSTL ow.ly/7zvU50RexJh
A p-tau217 antibody reduced tangles and neurodegeneration and improved memory and coordination in mice. It, and another antibody targeting N-terminal tau, restored brain proteostasis to wild-type levels. @xmuchina @UQ_News ow.ly/1CGt50Remw7
Researchers at AD/PD 2024 discussed progress in developing disease-modifying therapies for synucleinopathies. #parkinsonsdisease @adpdnet ow.ly/sPMC50RcMUi
At #ADPD, scientists focused less on how tau travels between cells, and more on what happens after it arrives. Mechanisms include seed triage by an ATPase and vesicular packaging. @adpdnet ow.ly/NWxh50R7Y6s
Punch biopsies measuring the amount of phosphorylated α-synuclein in the skin diagnosed four synucleinopathies with 93 to 100 percent accuracy. @harvardmed ow.ly/rZCt50R6JVH
Researchers at AD/PD 2024 presented new mouse models of CAA and ARIA, and proposed potential biomarkers of the former and treatments for the latter. #alzheimersdisease @Radboud_Uni @UABBarcelona @adpdnet ow.ly/2XZi50R4Cyl
Scientists linked genetic variants to age-related changes in expression of 10,000 genes in different brain cell types and subtypes. One variant increased expression of APOE only in microglia and correlated with worse CAA. #Alzheimersdisease. @Columbia ow.ly/p8xf50R3v0M
MRI shows CSF flowing into the brain by hugging cerebral arteries. It rides their pulses, spreading into cortical tissue along the way. The data supports the existence of a human glymphatic system. @Oslounivsykehus ow.ly/oaJm50R2wN0
ADPD 2024 highlights O-GlcNAcase inhibitors’ push toward Phase 2 trials in tauopathies. Preclinical studies broaden tau immunotherapy strategies. @adpdnet ow.ly/vefn50R0qee
Despite another Phase 3 flop, TauRx leveraged subgroup analyses to claim glimmers of efficacy for the methylene blue derivative, HMTM. @TauRx @adpdnet ow.ly/6ueN50R0eZw
Knocking out TREM1 preserved memory in old wild-type mice and in models of amyloidosis. Myeloid cell and neuron metabolism improved, while microglia remained ramified. @Stanford ow.ly/thnh50QZ5zG
In #multiplesclerosis mice, activated microglia reverse electron flow within their mitochondria, creating oxidative stress. Blocking this eased neurodegeneration. @Cambridge_Uni ow.ly/ncYV50QYg1H
Roche’s follow-up to gantenerumab, trontinemab, cleared plaque in three months without triggering ARIA in a small cohort. #alzheimersdisease ow.ly/kS1k50QUTnk
In APOE4/4 microglia, Aβ triggers a triglyceride synthesis enzyme. Then they accumulate lipid droplets and release something neurotoxic. @Stanford ow.ly/JEGU50QSeiJ
In 12 people with mild cognitive impairment, six months of lamivudine nudged some biomarkers. The drug suppresses retrotransposons. These jumping genes are less methylated in AD. @UTHealthSA ow.ly/yJ6S50QRBhp

The first ever Tau2020 Global Conference was a big success. Thanks to @alzforum for a nice summary.
A new international tau meeting kicked off in Washington, D.C. It aims to cover all tau-related diseases. Researchers reported new genetic variants for progression of progressive supranuclear palsy and Parkinson’s disease. #Tau2020 ow.ly/8sVd50yCdo2

It's fantastic to see @alzforum write about our @biorxivpreprint on #alphasynuclein filaments from #MSA brains. The preprint model will only work if their precedence is properly recognized. alzforum.org/news/conferenc…
This is really cool
Scientists have solved the three-dimensional structure of α-synuclein fibrils isolated from diseased human brain. They look different than tau fibrils. @MRC_LMB #Alzforum ow.ly/V19o50yDfmd

Cool research identifying the "rhinal cortex" as the location of earliest tau deposits that are easily detectable using PET. Rhinal cortex surrounds the rhinal sulcus - the anterior part of the collateral sulcus that separates the entorhinal cortex from the fusiform gyrus.
Using PET, researchers detect first traces of tau accumulation in the rhinal sulcus, and propose a tau staging scheme. #Tau2020 #Alzforum ow.ly/lcNB50yEeRS
Great summary of tau PET tracer discussions that took place at The Tau2020 Global Conference.
Autopsy data confirms selectivity of different PET ligands for specific forms of tau. New tracers may specifically bind 4R tau and α-synuclein. #Tau2020 #Alzforum ow.ly/ZUFv50yF6Wf
This is very cool research! 👍🏼 #TAU2020 @KosikLab @MGHmapp @ApoEdscvr
Scientists identify a cell-surface receptor, LRP1, that binds tau, facilitating its spread through the brain. #Tau2020 #Alzforum ow.ly/ZVHG50yFWDi
Cool. Rauch found that LRP1 KD totally abolished tau uptake. Without LRP1, the H4 cells were unable to absorb monomers, oligomers, and fibrils of tau. Likewise, when LRP1 was KD in neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, they also no longer endocytosed Tau”
