Quentin Devignes, PhD was awarded a 2026 McKnight Next Generation Research Grant in Cognitive Aging and Age-Related Memory Loss. Dr. Devignes will work to determine for the first time the impact beta-amyloid protein buildup has in normal age-related memory loss outside of Alzheimer's disease. This research is funded by the McKnight Brain Research Foundation.

Maria Pia Campagna, PhD was awarded a 2026 McKnight Next Generation Research Grant in Cognitive Aging and Age-Related Memory Loss. Dr. Campagna will investigate the connections between early menopause (such as when it is surgically induced), hormone therapy, and increased risk of dementia. Among other benefits, her work could lead to more accurate and customized recommendations for hormone therapy that reduce dementia risk. This research is funded by the McKnight Brain Research Foundation.

Researchers in Switzerland are testing an experimental blood nanofilter designed to remove proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease from the bloodstream within hours. The concept aims to reduce harmful amyloid and tau proteins that are associated with cognitive decline, potentially slowing disease progression. Early lab and pilot studies show promise, but experts caution that this is not a proven cure. Large clinical trials are still needed to confirm safety, long-term benefits, and real-world impact on dementia symptoms. Because it’s experimental, insurers currently label the treatment as investigational, meaning it’s not yet approved for routine medical use. Still, the approach highlights exciting progress in non-drug therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.
