Batten Disease: Glycerophosphodiesters and Lysosomal Dysfunction

Posted on April 5, 2024 by Nick Hartman

Discover the pivotal role of glycerophosphodiesters in the pathology of Batten disease. This article delves into how these compounds disrupt lysosomal functions, offering new avenues for therapeutic development.

Sensory Neurons and Tissue Healing

Posted on March 31, 2024 by Nick Hartman

Discover how sensory neurons, through the neuropeptide CGRP, play a pivotal role in tissue healing, offering new insights into regenerative medicine and potential therapies for diabetes-related healing complications.

Revisiting the Neurobiology of Alzheimer’s Disease—Insights into Neuronal Resilience

Posted on October 1, 2023 by Jim Peterson

Scientists have discovered a crucial relationship between specific brain cells and resilience against dementia in older adults, even in the presence of Alzheimer’s hallmarks. The research utilized data from a large-scale study, examining tissue samples from 427 brains. They identified two key cell types with specific genetic markers. One cell type had genes coding for reelin, a protein previously linked to brain disorders, and the other had genes coding for somatostatin, a hormone that regulates various bodily processes. Importantly, people with higher levels of these cells exhibited greater resistance to cognitive decline, regardless of the presence of amyloid plaques commonly associated with Alzheimer’s. The cells are inhibitory neurons, suggesting they might play an underappreciated role in maintaining cognitive function.

Battle of the Clot Busters: A Comparative Study of Alteplase and Tenecteplase in LVO Stroke Treatment

Posted on July 15, 2023 by Jim Peterson

In the quest for more effective stroke treatment, a recent study has revealed that tenecteplase, a drug easier to administer, might offer a viable alternative to the commonly used alteplase in treating patients with acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes. With similar safety and efficacy profiles between both thrombolytics, tenecteplase could become a preferred option, potentially speeding up treatment onset and enhancing patient outcomes in stroke care.

The Impact of Early Amyloid PET Scans on Diagnosing Alzheimer’s Disease: Insights from the AMYPAD-DPMS Randomized Clinical Trial

Posted on May 14, 2023May 14, 2023 by Jim Peterson

Exploring the pivotal role of early amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scans in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease, this article dives into the AMYPAD-DPMS randomized clinical trial. The study suggests that incorporating amyloid PET scans early in the diagnostic workup can significantly enhance diagnostic confidence, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes and more effective management of Alzheimer’s disease

Exploring the Potential of Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: A New Frontier in Multiple Sclerosis Treatment

Posted on May 6, 2023 by Jim Peterson

Discover the potential of Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (BTKIs) as a novel approach to treating Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by targeting B cells and microglia, offering new possibilities for effective disease management.

The Hidden Threat: How Air Pollutants May Contribute to Dementia Risk

Posted on April 15, 2023 by Jim Peterson

Explore the emerging links between air pollution and dementia risk, as recent research highlights the potential consequences of long-term exposure to pollutants and the urgent need for preventive measures to protect public health.

Is Tinnitus a Symptom?

Posted on January 5, 2023 by Jim Peterson

There are many potential underlying causes of tinnitus, including hearing loss, exposure to loud noise, certain medications, head or neck injuries, and medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease or thyroid problems. In some cases, the cause of tinnitus is not clear and may be multifactorial.
