Is Alzheimer’s Disease a Liver Disease of the Brain?
- Biology, MedicineJournal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD
- 2020
Evidence is presented suggesting that the liver is the origin of brain Aβ deposits and that it is involved in peripheral clearance of circulating Aβ in the blood, which means the liver could be targeted to decrease Aβ production or increase peripheral clearance.

The presences of a small number of candidates in the last phase suggest that a large number of candidate have had an undesirable side effect or were unable to pass essential eligibility for future phases of AD.

From updated classifications and recommendations to advances in biomarkers of AD, this article aims to critically assess the literature on AD, addressing new definitions and challenges that emerged from recent studies on the subject.
New diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer ’ s disease
- Psychology, Medicine
- 2017
Criteria for the diagnosis of probable Alzheimer’s dementia have been based on the National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer's Association diagnostic criteria from 2011 andDSM-5 criteria from 2013, and they appear to have similar accuracy in clinical practice.

It is concluded that DLB can be distinguished from PD, in spite of both being synucleinopathies, by CSF profiles using neurodegenerative marker analysis.

Evidence that the presenilin proteins, mutations in which cause the most aggressive form of inherited AD, lead to altered intramembranous cleavage of the beta-amyloid precursor protein by the protease called gamma-secretase has spurred progress toward novel therapeutics and provided discrete biochemical targets for drug screening and development.
Age, neuropathology, and dementia.

The association between the pathological features of Alzheimer's disease and dementia is stronger in younger old persons than in older old persons, and age must be taken into account when assessing the likely effect of interventions against dementia on the population.
Amyloid Angiopathy–Related Vascular Cognitive Impairment
- Psychology, BiologyStroke

Data from patients with CAA-related intracerebral hemorrhage suggesting associations of CAA with radiographic white matter abnormalities and cognitive impairment highlight the importance of elucidating the effects of vascular amyloid on cerebrovascular function and of developing therapeutic strategies for this potentially widespread form of microvascular cognitive impairment.

It is hypothesized that AD pathology is the complex end result of slowly evolving vascular disease and parenchymal lesions and important treatment options and directions for additional interventions to stave off this dementia are suggested.
