Novel Vaccine and Treatment for Alzheimer's Disease Developed to Target Truncated Amyloid Beta Protein A promising new approach to potentially treating, and vaccinating against Alzheimer’s disease has been developed by researchers. The antibody and vaccine helped to restore neuronal function, increase brain glucose metabolism, restore memory loss, and reduce plaque formation in mouse AD models.

Hypoxia-enhanced Blood-Brain Barrier Chip recapitulates human barrier function and shuttling of drugs and antibodies

Hypoxia-enhanced Blood-Brain Barrier Chip recapitulates human barrier function and shuttling of drugs and antibodies In vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) models do not fully recapitulate the in vivo barrier function. Here the authors develop an organ-on-a-chip BBB model using iPS-derived human brain endothelial cells differentiated under hypoxia, primary human pericytes and astrocytes, which maintains in vivo-like B...

Less than 5% of human phosphosites have a known function. Also published today - Ochoa et al. have set out to create a high-quality catalog of human phosphosites and an integrated score than can rank phosphosites critical for the cell
