Amyloid-Related Imaging Abnormalities in 2 Phase 3 Studies Evaluating Aducanumab in Patients With Early Alzheimer Disease

Stephen Salloway et al.

Summary: The EMERGE and ENGAGE phase 3 trials provided data on ARIA associated with aducanumab treatment in patients with Alzheimer's disease. A high rate of ARIA was observed, with ARIA-edema being the most common adverse event. Some patients in the aducanumab group experienced associated symptoms, with headache being the most common.

Microglial VPS35 deficiency impairs Aβ phagocytosis and Aβ-induced disease-associated microglia, and enhances Aβ associated pathology

Xiao Ren et al.

Summary: This study found that microglial VPS35 deficiency contributes to the development of Alzheimer's disease in a mouse model. The deficiency leads to decreased learning and memory function, increased deposition of A-beta and activation of astrocytes. The study also revealed the importance of microglial VPS35 in the development of disease-associated microglia (DAM) and the uptake of A-beta.

Photo-oxygenation by a biocompatible catalyst reduces amyloid-β levels in Alzheimer's disease mice

Shuta Ozawa et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that photo-oxygenation facilitates the clearance of aggregated amyloid-beta from the brains of living Alzheimer's disease model mice, and enhances the microglial degradation of amyloid-beta peptide, suggesting a novel strategy for Alzheimer's disease treatment that may be compatible with immunotherapy.

Autophagy deficiency modulates microglial lipid homeostasis and aggravates tau pathology and spreading

Yin Xu et al.

Summary: Studies indicate that microglial-specific autophagy, represented by Atg7, plays a crucial role in regulating lipid metabolism and neuroinflammation. Deletion of Atg7 in microglia leads to a proinflammatory status and exacerbates intraneuronal tau pathology.
