  1. New book coming out in the Methods in Enzymology series, on Structural studies of #amyloid beta: www.sciencedirect.com/bookseries/m... Edited by Rob Tycko (NIH) and Wei Qiang (Binghamton University). With a range of topics included, from experimental to computational.

  2. Bart De Strooper presented at the Copenhagen AD/PD-conference an excellent sketch of the three main inflection points in the pathophysiological evolution of Alzheimer's disease, alzforum.org/news/conference-c

    My own transition from amyloid plagues to p-tau and tangles was retarded by a four years' anti-amyloid therapy in a clinical reaearch project during 2017-22 (aducanumab). Sadly, the most probable explanation for my rapidly worsening cognitive problems may indeed be the tau-tangles, which I somehow avoided earlier. I know there are experimental therapies around somewhere for those gremlins too, but sadly not within my own reach. With respect to my AD, I'm afraid, it's "too late, my friend".

    I encourage anybody with a slowly lethal disease to keep mentally in touch with it as long as you can. That's what we human beings were made for. 🤗

  8. In Jan 2026 we will organize the 3rd Dutch protein aggregation network (DPAN) symposium in Amsterdam: we invite Dutch researchers interested in (disease-related) protein aggregation to join the meeting! Registration and other info: dpan-nl.org/3rd-dpan-sym... #amyloid #proteinaggregation

  13. It was great to have Prof Ashwani Thakur, from IIT Kanpur, present his talk about #amyloid protein deposits in human disease and in plants (where they are ‘functional’). From #polyQ to plant seeds! Catch him at the amyloid meeting in Hamburg. @landaulabcssb.bsky.social @cssbhamburg.bsky.social

  18. News in #Alzheimer's diagnosis!
    #FDA cleared the Lumipulse G pTau217/ß-Amyloid 1-42 Plasma Ratio, a blood test that aids in detecting #amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's.
    ➡️ Less invasive & reduces reliance on PET scans and increases accessibility.
    The test measures two proteins in blood plasma and calculates their ratio, correlating to the presence or absence of amyloid plaques.
    Has a high accuracy rate ➡️ offers hope for earlier and easier diagnosis.
