A groundbreaking study suggests that the immune molecule STING may play a critical role in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases by exacerbating brain inflammation and damage. Blocking STING in lab models protected against cognitive decline, opening a promising new path for therapeutic development.

Alzheimer’s disease develops slowly and silently, with biological changes in the brain beginning many years before any symptoms appear. A new study from researchers at the UC Irvine Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders (UCI MIND) shows that we may be able to identify those most at risk using two simple and widely accessible tools: a blood test and a brief unsupervised memory assessment.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a gene therapy for Alzheimer’s disease that aims to protect the brain from damage and preserve cognitive function. This approach differs from existing treatments, which primarily target unhealthy protein deposits in the brain. Instead, the new therapy focuses on addressing the root cause of Alzheimer’s by influencing how brain cells behave.

While Alzheimer’s disease is mostly considered a disorder of the brain, emerging evidence suggests that the condition also affects other organs of the body. Working with the laboratory fruit fly, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital (Duncan NRI) and collaborating institutions provide a new understanding of how Alzheimer’s disease affects different tissues across the entire body.

The experimental treatment is part of a larger effort to find new ways to interrupt the cascade of events in the brain that lead to Alzheimer’s dementia.
Two drugs now on the market clear the brain of sticky amyloid plaques, clumps of toxic protein that accumulate between neurons. Other experimental drugs have targeted the tau tangles, a different protein that builds up inside nerve cells.
