This humanized IgG1 antibody inhibits an immune checkpoint protein called programmed death ligand, aka PD-L1, stimulating the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, including other antibodies, are ...
Monoclonal antibodies continue to show their ability to rid the brain of amyloid plaques. Trouble is, those antibodies need to be injected on the regular to keep taking down their targets in the brain ...
This is a knock-in (KI) mouse model carrying a L444P mutation in the endogenous Gba (glucocerebrosidase [GC] or acid β-glucosidase) gene (Liu et al., 1998). The GBA1 protein is the lipid-degrading ...

Affitope AD02 is a synthetic peptide of six amino acids that mimics the N-terminus of Aβ. AFFiRiS hypothesizes that this fragment enables exclusive recognition of Aβ without cross-reacting with APP, ...
Damage to the brain’s blood vessels accumulates as people age, but scientists still know little about what causes this, much less how to detect or prevent it. A consortium led by scientists at ...
