Stem Cells for Dementia
Since their discovery in the 1960s, stem cells have captivated our curiosity. Unlike other cells in the body, stem cells are changeable: They can self-renew, and they can turn themselves into different, specialized cell types. Already, stem cell therapies have led to the development of things like bone marrow transplants for cancer patients. And their […]

Neurotech for Treating Alzheimer’s
A new generation of drugs for Alzheimer’s disease are designed to change how the brain works. They do this by latching onto problematic proteins that build up in our neurons. Anti-amyloid drugs, like Leqembi and Kisunla, stick to beta-amyloid protein plaques in particular, and help the brain get rid of them. Meanwhile, drugs for Alzheimer’s […]
Looking Ahead – New Alzheimer’s Drugs that Could Be Approved Soon
Last year, regulatory agencies in the U.S., Japan, China, and the U.K. all approved Eli Lilly’s new Alzheimer’s anti-amyloid drug Kisunla. Based on the status of drugs in the development pipeline, we don’t expect there to be another new Alzheimer’s drug in 2025. But, there are several promising drug candidates with Phase 3 trials wrapping […]
Looking for Vision Loss to Diagnose and Prevent Dementia
The eyes are the only part of the nervous system that we can see directly, without invasive tools or expensive imaging. And this makes them like windows into the brain. Scientists are learning that vision tests and simple retinal scans can reveal important data about brain health — data that could be key to the […]
Editing Genes to Beat Alzheimer’s
The underlying cause of Alzheimer’s disease is unknown, but scientists have lots of reason to believe that people’s genetics affect how susceptible they are: Some genes multiply risk, while others appear to be protective. And until recently, scientists didn’t have the tools to add, subtract, or edit genes involved in diseases like Alzheimer’s. That’s changing: […]
Is It Normal Aging or Dementia?
Every morning, you go for a run around the neighborhood. Today, as you’re on your way home at the end of the run, you can’t remember whether to turn left or right. Is this an age-related memory lapse or the first signs of something more serious? While many people experience occasional memory lapses as they […]
Unexpected Symptoms: How To Manage Personality Changes in Dementia
Written by Being Patient Personality changes are not often talked about as a common symptom of dementia, so when these changes start to appear in a friend, care subject or loved one, they can seem abrupt, surprising, and disarming. While new differences in behavior — from sudden anger, irritation, anxiety, to, even, usual sexual behavior […]
What If Your Smartphone Could Detect Cognitive Decline?
Written by Being Patient Detecting Alzheimer’s early is crucial because it allows people to get new treatments, participate in clinical trials, and make positive lifestyle changes. We now know that our voice might be the first thing that changes before any other symptoms. And so voice biomarkers, as an early diagnostic tool, might be coming […]
Eli Lilly’s Kisunla for Alzheimer’s Hits the U.S. Market
Written by Being Patient The FDA approved Eli Lilly’s disease-modifying drug Kisunla (generic name donanemab) on July 2nd, a few weeks after the drug was unanimously recommended for approval by a committee of independent advisors to the FDA. Kisunla joins Leqembi as one of two Alzheimer’s monoclonal antibody drugs approved by the FDA in the […]
Our Studies
Biomarkers Innovative translational research uses biomarkers to accelerate or aid in diagnosis or monitoring and provide insight into “personalized” medicine. A biomarker is a quantifiable biological parameter (such as blood pressure, heart rate, blood and genetic test, and x-rays) that are measured and evaluated over time as an indicator of normal biological, pathogenic, or pharmacologic […]
