Four cold-causing coronaviruses may provide clues to COVID ’s future
Over a few weeks in November 1889, a respiratory disease attacked half the residents of St. Petersburg, Russia, and it soon began to race through Europe and the rest of the world. Two years later, in a spectacularly
detailed book
, a British medical officer, H. Franklin Parsons, described what was dubbed the “Russian influenza” epidemic, which raged until 1894. People seemed to spread the disease before developing symptoms, the young did not suffer as much as the old, a dry cough was common among the ill, some had a “perversion of taste and smell,” and deaths rose. Suspicions ran high that a pathogen had ...

Optimal blood tau species for the detection of Alzheimer ’s disease neuropathology: an immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry and autopsy study
This study is the first to use immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry (IP-MS) to compare the accuracy of eight different plasma tau species in predicting autopsy-confirmed AD. The sample included 123 participants (AD = 69, non-AD = 54) from the Boston University Alzheimer’s disease Research Center who had an available ante-mortem plasma sample and donated their brain. Plasma samples proximate to death were a nalyzed by targeted IP-MS for six different tryptic phosphorylated (p-tau-181, 199, 202, 205, 217, 231), and two non-phosphorylated tau (195–205, 212–221) peptides. NIA-Reagan Institute criteria were used ...

Misconduct concerns, possible drug risks should stop major stroke trial, whistleblowers say
In 2022, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) placed a large bet on an experimental drug developed to limit brain damage after strokes. The agency committed up to $30 million to administer a compound called 3K3A-APC in a study of 1400 people shortly after they experience an acute ischemic stroke, a perilous condition in which a clot blocks blood flow to part of the brain.
The gamble seemed warranted. Lab studies, most by a longtime grantee, prominent University of Southern California (USC) neuroscientist Berislav Zlokovic, had generated promising data. A small safety study of the drug, sponsored by a company ...
