Sphere of Influence. In iAssembloids, microglia (red) form projections (white arrows), while astrocytes (green) assume star shapes typically found in the brain. [Courtesy of Kampmann et al., 2025.] ...

EBP1 is low in Alzheimer’s disease brains, hinting at human relevance. “Our study suggests that … preservation of functional EBP1 could be a therapeutic strategy for AD,” the authors noted. The ...

The Amyloid—Tangle Connection. Aβ aggregates (green) hyper-excite neurons in tau epicenters and connected regions, strengthening that connectivity. This pushes tau propagation from one region to ...

The National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center unites the collections of the neuropathology cores at 27 NIA-funded AD Research Centers into a single database. It contains records on 13,000 brains, 3,000 ...

SORL1 dysfunction messes with endosomes in neurons, and with lysosomes in microglia.

SORL1 knockout, knockin, and transgenic mice are now in the Research Models database. The database will be updated as more models become available.

Unknown. Multiple in silico algorithms yielded conflicting results.

The center unites the collections of the neuropathology cores at 27 NIA-funded AD Research Centers into a single database. It contains records on 13,000 brains, 3,000 of them with extensive clinical ...

Unknown; predicted pathogenic in silico (CADD>20).

Early onset familial Alzheimer disease (eFAD) is hereditary and marked by Alzheimer disease symptoms that appear at an unusually early age. Symptoms can start in a person's thirties, forties, and ...
