5-HT6 receptors and Alzheimer's disease.

Ramírez MJ.
PMID: 23607787

During the past 20 years, the 5-HT6 receptor has received increasing attention and become a promising target for improving cognition. Several studies with structurally different compounds have shown that not only antagonists but also 5-HT6 receptor agonists improve learning...

For debate: substituting placebo controls in long-term Alzheimer's prevention trials.

Alzheimer's research & therapy

Spiegel R, Berres M, Miserez AR, Monsch AU.
PMID: 21418632
Alzheimers Res Ther. 2011 Mar 21;3(2):9. doi: 10.1186/alzrt68.

INTRODUCTION: Novel compounds with potential to attenuate or stop the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from its presymptomatic stage to dementia are being tested in man. The study design commonly used is the long-term randomized, placebo-controlled trial (RPCT), meaning...

Perspectives on future Alzheimer therapies: amyloid-β protofibrils - a new target for immunotherapy with BAN2401 in Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's research & therapy

Lannfelt L, Möller C, Basun H, Osswald G, Sehlin D, Satlin A, Logovinsky V, Gellerfors P.
PMID: 25031633
Alzheimers Res Ther. 2014 Mar 24;6(2):16. doi: 10.1186/alzrt246. eCollection 2014.

The symptomatic drugs currently on the market for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have no effect on disease progression, and this creates a large unmet medical need. The type of drug that has developed most rapidly in the last decade is...

Lewy body dementia: the impact on patients and caregivers.

Alzheimer's research & therapy

Zweig YR, Galvin JE.
PMID: 25031635
Alzheimers Res Ther. 2014 Apr 25;6(2):21. doi: 10.1186/alzrt251. eCollection 2014.

Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the second most common neurodegenerative dementia in older adults, yet there remains a delay in diagnosis that limits healthcare providers' ability to maximize therapeutic outcomes and enhance patient and caregiver quality of life. The...

Truncated and modified amyloid-beta species.

Alzheimer's research & therapy

Kummer MP, Heneka MT.
PMID: 25031638
Alzheimers Res Ther. 2014 May 26;6(3):28. doi: 10.1186/alzrt258. eCollection 2014.

Alzheimer's disease pathology is closely connected to the processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) resulting in the formation of a variety of amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides. They are found as insoluble aggregates in senile plaques, the histopathological hallmark of...

Predicting amyloid status in corticobasal syndrome using modified clinical criteria, magnetic resonance imaging and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography.

Alzheimer's research & therapy

Sha SJ, Ghosh PM, Lee SE, Corbetta-Rastelli C, Jagust WJ, Kornak J, Rankin KP, Grinberg LT, Vinters HV, Mendez MF, Dickson DW, Seeley WW, Gorno-Tempini M, Kramer J, Miller BL, Boxer AL, Rabinovici GD.
PMID: 25733984
Alzheimers Res Ther. 2015 Mar 02;7(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13195-014-0093-y. eCollection 2015.

INTRODUCTION: Group comparisons demonstrate greater visuospatial and memory deficits and temporoparietal-predominant degeneration on neuroimaging in patients with corticobasal syndrome (CBS) found to have Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology versus those with underlying frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The value of these...

Dementia trials and dementia tribulations: methodological and analytical challenges in dementia research.

Alzheimer's research & therapy

Ritchie CW, Terrera GM, Quinn TJ.
PMID: 25788988
Alzheimers Res Ther. 2015 Mar 18;7(1):31. doi: 10.1186/s13195-015-0113-6. eCollection 2015.

Dementia is a substantial and increasing public health concern. Despite decades of research, a cure or effective preventative treatment for dementia remains elusive. We offer critical review of contemporary dementia research and discuss potential reasons why progress in the...

Imaging endpoints for clinical trials in Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's research & therapy

Cash DM, Rohrer JD, Ryan NS, Ourselin S, Fox NC.
PMID: 25621018
Alzheimers Res Ther. 2014 Dec 20;6(9):87. doi: 10.1186/s13195-014-0087-9. eCollection 2014.

As the need to develop a successful disease-modifying treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD) becomes more urgent, imaging is increasingly used in therapeutic trials. We provide an overview of how the different imaging modalities are used in AD studies and...

BACE1 inhibitor drugs in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's research & therapy

Vassar R.
PMID: 25621019
Alzheimers Res Ther. 2014 Dec 24;6(9):89. doi: 10.1186/s13195-014-0089-7. eCollection 2014.

β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) is the β-secretase enzyme required for the production of the neurotoxic β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide that is widely considered to have a crucial early role in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD)....

A highly sensitive novel immunoassay specifically detects low levels of soluble Aβ oligomers in human cerebrospinal fluid.

Alzheimer's research & therapy

Yang T, O'Malley TT, Kanmert D, Jerecic J, Zieske LR, Zetterberg H, Hyman BT, Walsh DM, Selkoe DJ.

INTRODUCTION: Amyloid β-protein oligomers play a key role in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but well-validated assays that routinely detect them in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are just emerging. We sought to confirm and extend a recent study using the Singulex Erenna...

Eyes-closed task-free electroencephalography in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease: an emerging method based upon brain dynamics.
