Abstract

Ten years of remarkable progress in understanding the fundamental biochemistry of Alzheimer's disease have been followed by ten years of remarkable and increasing clinical insight into the natural progression of the disorder. The concept of a long, intermediary, prodromal phase between the first appearance of amyloid plaques and tangles and the manifestation of dementia is now well established. The major challenge for the next decade is to chart the many cellular processes that underlie this phase and link the biochemical alterations to the clinical manifestation of Alzheimer's disease. We discuss here how genetics, new cell culture systems, and improved animal models will fuel this work. We anticipate that the resulting novel insights will provide a basis for further drug development for this terrible disease.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Side effects associated with targeting β- and γ-secretases arise because these enzymes have a wide range of substrates vital in other physiological processes.

    “However, the side effects associated with targeting β- and γ-secretases arise because these enzymes have a wide range of substrates that are vital in other physiological processes.170”

    From Recent advances in Alzheimer's disease: Mechanisms, clinical trials and new drug development strategies. (2024) · cites this paper as [170]

    In “The Usual Suspects and Problems in Developing Tau- or Amyloid-β-Centered Therapy” (page not provided), the review says BACE1 has multiple substrates beyond APP and that interfering with it affects brain-development mechanisms. The same section identifies γ-secretase’s many substrates as a drawback and discusses limiting side effects. It does not establish that substrate-related side effects have occurred for both targets: it calls side effects in the adult human brain from BACE1 inhibition an unresolved concern. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • When Aβ antibodies such as bapineuzumab did not yield significant therapeutic effects, research shifted towards inhibiting the formation of Aβ.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
