Re: CTAD 2022 -- Endgame for AD

CTAD looks like its an especially good scientific meeting as they provide a pdf for all of their abstracts. We will have a very good insight into the deep bench of AD research. The speaker lineup also suggests that there will be a focus on AD clinical trials especially those related to mabs. Enormo...

I have run 5 marathons now, with 2:56 being my personal best but that was 4 years ago now. I am noticing cogniti...

Re: Intro - 53 yo mom with dual APOE-4 and CIRS wanting to do all I can to prevent AD

Hi I heard one of the talks - Julie Gregory's - in the recent Alzheimer's talks and was so glad this site is available! I'm in CO (former east coaster) and I've been dealing with CIRS and dual C677t gene issues after mold poisoning (and all the other dominoes) for decades. I recently lost my mom to...
