🔬 The Role of Biomarkers in Alzheimer’s Research Biomarkers like beta-amyloid and tau proteins are transforming our understanding of Alzheimer’s disease by providing critical insights into disease mechanisms and enabling patient stratification even at the preclinical stage. This approach allows researchers to identify specific disease profiles early, enhancing the relevance of in vitro models and facilitating the testing of potential treatments on the most responsive cell populations. 🔑 Key Points • Using biomarkers for stratification in pre-clinical studies helps narrow down patient profiles, supporting the development of therapies aimed at particular disease mechanisms. • Stratified in vitro models accelerate the discovery process by focusing on targeted pathways, improving the likelihood of meaningful outcomes and efficient transitions to clinical trials. • Pre-clinical biomarker quantification aids in understanding Alzheimer's pathology at the cellular level, building a foundation for therapies aimed at better patient outcomes. This Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, let’s acknowledge how biomarker-driven, stratified research is accelerating the path toward effective Alzheimer’s treatments. 👉 What recent advancements in Alzheimer’s biomarkers are you excited about?

🧪 Innovating Treatment for Alzheimer’s: Where Are We Now? 🧪 Drug development for Alzheimer’s Disease has faced many hurdles, but recent breakthroughs offer hope. With the FDA approval of several disease-modifying treatments like lecanemab and ongoing clinical trials targeting tau and amyloid beta, the future of Alzheimer’s therapy is looking brighter. 💡 Current Focus: - Disease-modifying therapies are moving from theory to clinical practice. - Therapies targeting amyloid beta and tau/p-tau, including combination therapies, are showing promise in addressing multiple aspects of Alzheimer’s pathology. As we mark Alzheimer’s Awareness Month this month, let’s keep the conversation about innovation in Alzheimer’s treatment alive. 👉 What promising treatments are you keeping an eye on?

🧠 Alzheimer’s Awareness: Understanding the Global Impact 🌍 Alzheimer’s Disease is more than a memory issue—it’s a global public health crisis. By 2050, the number of people living with Alzheimer’s is projected to reach 139 million worldwide. Early detection, intervention, and research are crucial in slowing this trend. 🧬 Key Facts: Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60-70% of cases. Global costs related to Alzheimer’s and dementia are estimated to exceed $1 trillion. At Elixirgen Scientific, we're tackling this head-on by providing iPSC-derived neurons and glial cells from multiple Alzheimer’s patients for research and drug discovery. Our innovative iPSC technology allows researchers to model the disease in vitro, offering a valuable tool for screening potential treatments and understanding disease mechanisms. As we mark Alzheimer’s Awareness Month this November, let’s stay informed, support ongoing research, and advocate for a better future. 👉 How is your organization contributing to Alzheimer’s research?

Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Parkinson’s Disease (PD) cause significant physical and cognitive disabilities. Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer a powerful tool to study these conditions. By reprogramming patient cells, iPSCs can be differentiated into neurons, glial cells and a variety of other cell types. Our iPSC-derived cells, from patients with AD, serve as advanced disease-relevant in vitro models for research and drug discovery. We have recently developed an isogenic tri-culture model of AD patient-derived neurons, astrocytes and microglia (see below). Visit our booth #1624 at SfN to learn more about our iPSC-derived models for AD, PD and other diseases! #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #iPSCs #diseasemodeling #drugdiscovery #ElixirgenScientific #SFN #biotechnology
