Pioneering Breakthroughs in Drug Development for Alzheimer's Disease TreatmentPioneering Breakthroughs
in Drug Development for Alzheimer's Disease Treatment

Advancements in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) drug development show promising breakthroughs: Lecanemab was approved by the FDA in July of this year to treat AD because it has shown effectiveness in reducing amyloid deposits in patients' brains. ACROBiosystems offers AD related target proteins such as Aβ, Tau to advance drug development for AD treatment.

 Decoding tauopathies: New study identifies non-coding RNA as a key player in Alzheimer's
 
Decoding tauopathies: New study identifies non-coding RNA as a key player in Alzheimer'sResearchers at Washington University School of Medicine identify a key step in the development of harmful tau tangles, offering a potential target for preventing brain damage in diseases like Alzheimer's. The study highlights the role of long noncoding RNAs, particularly SNHG8, in stress granule formation and tau aggregation, opening new avenues for treatment.

 Brain activity changes predict recovery from early PTSD symptoms
 
Brain activity changes predict recovery from early PTSD symptomsAfter a traumatic experience, most people recover without incident, but some people - between 2% and 10%- develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a mental health condition that can cause debilitating symptoms of anxiety due to emotional dysregulation.
 
 
 Can a plant-based diet lower your risk of Parkinson's disease?
 
Can a plant-based diet lower your risk of Parkinson's disease?A recent study in the journal Movement Disorders examined the association between plant-based diets and Parkinson's disease (PD) risk, using data from 126,283 UK Biobank participants. The research found that those in the highest quartile for healthful plant-based diet indices (hPDI) had a 22% lower risk of PD, while unhealthful plant-based diets (uPDI) correlated with a 38% higher risk.
