How the immune system may influence Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and related diseases This review argues that neurodegeneration is shaped not only by toxic protein buildup but also by immune signaling, with microglia and T cells able to either protect the brain or worsen damage dependi...

🧠 Can our immune system both fight AND fuel Alzheimer's and Parkinson's? Timing is everything - immune responses may protect or harm the brain depending on when and how they activate. www.news-medical.net/news/2026041... #Alzheimers #Parkinsons #NeuroScience

Chap 29 is now up. During this time we had a bit of a lull, so we emptied out Peggy's storage area and took care of other bureaucracy. Also, The Cure and yacht rock (two very different things).

A Cochrane review has concluded that donanemab and lecanemab — among other amyloid‐beta‐targeting monoclonal antibodies for Alzheimer’s disease-related dementia — are probably not effective for mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia

On her mother with #Alzheimers , Actress Kate Mulgrew writes, “that was a walk through an ever-darkening thicket through which she did not emerge...”…
“..an excruciating goodbye to one so remarkably vivid to you.”
I know this walk. My Mom passed in 2019 from Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s drugs ‘make no meaningful difference to patients’, major study claims Two anti-amyloid drugs – lecanemab and donanemab – are licensed for use in the UK

Misleading headline. Many of the drugs in the review have already been abandoned. Their trial results are combined with more recent trials of more promising drugs. The authors' conclusion is that results are mixed. 🤔🤦‍♂️

Anti-amyloid Alzheimer’s drugs show no clinically meaningful effect | Cochrane

🧠 “Unfortunately, the evidence suggests that these drugs make no meaningful difference to patients”
It is sad that expectations were whipped up into such a frenzy by industry and charities before credible evidence emerged.
Patients deserve better.
