Live Talk with Marwan Sabbagh on Genetics and Alzheimer's

Hi Everyone, I wanted to invite you to a live talk we are doing with leading neurologist Dr Marwan Sabbagh on genetics and Alzheimer's. We are going to do a deep dive into what AD genes like ApoE4 are teaching us about prevention and where the research is heading. All are welcome and come armed with...

Gene Therapy for Alzheimer's

Hi Everyone, I am posting a recent article we did with Dr Ron Crystal, who is the pioneer behind gene therapy for Alzheimer's disease. He describes the latest trials with Lexeo Therapeutics (a company he founded) to try to apply reengineering ApoE4 to act more like ApoE2. The drug is currently in ph...

New Research on Blood Brain Barrier and APOE4

Researchers are making headway in explaining why people who carry the ApoE4 gene, the largest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s, are more likely to suffer from damaged blood-brain barriers. It was never clear to researchers whether the ApoE4 gene was responsible for the early malfunction of the bl...

KL-VS: New Gene Discovered to Protect Against Risk of ApoE4 for AD

Hi Friends, We just published a story on a recent study out of Stanford University on KL-VS, a new genetic variant thought to offer some protection against the risk of ApoE4. I thought you may be interested. https://www.beingpatient.com/gene-variant-may-prevent-alzheimers/ I hope everyone one is hea...

New Study Indicates Genes Don't Always Dictate Alzheimer's

This is an interesting study of identical triplets and suggests developing Alzheimer's is not exclusively linked to our genes.
