New Strategy Reduces Brain Damage in PSP, Alzheimer’s, and Related Disorders in Mice

Alpha2-NKA, a protein that drives toxicity in astrocytes, was discovered in higher levels of brain samples from people who died of PSP, Alzheimer's and other tau-related neurodegenerative disorders. Treatment with an FDA-approved drug called digoxin may suppress the inflamed astrocytes and halt disease progression for those with tauopathy disorders.

Stem Cells Model Genetic Risk for Developing Alzheimer’s Disease

Stem cell study reveals astrocytes carrying the Alzheimer's associated APOE4 gene release more cholesterol than those carrying the APOE3 gene. Findings shed light on how different versions of the APOE gene in astrocytes influence amyloid-beta production and how the oversupply of cholesterol associated with APOE4 astrocytes may promote amyloid-beta formation in Alzheimer's patients.
