Valiltramiprosate/ALZ‐801 Prevents Hippocampal Atrophy and Clinical Decline in a Stage 2 AD Subpopulation in APOLLOE4 Phase 3 Study [PDF]
Abstract Background The central hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is progressive brain atrophy accompanied by amyloid and tau pathologies. Valiltramiprosate is an oral, small‐molecule inhibitor of amyloid oligomer formation in development as a disease‐modifying treatment for AD. Whereas APOLLOE4 did not meet the primary endpoint of cognitive slowing

Prevalence of high-risk plasma p-tau217 levels and 5-year transition of risk status in 70-year-olds. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION High‐risk plasma p‐tau217 levels predict amyloid‐β pathology in Alzheimer's disease, but little is known about the prevalence and temporal dynamics in the general population. METHODS Participants from the Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort Study in Sweden were examined (n = 1157) and re‐examined after 5–7 years (n = 771).

Alkali Metal Cations Impact the Selectivity of Radical-Mediated Electrochemical C─H Chlorination. [PDF]
In this work, we found that alkali metal cations in the electrolyte can impact the *Cl binding energy, which controls selectivity between radical‐mediated electrochemical C─H chlorination and competing Cl2 formation. Abstract Electrochemistry offers a promising route toward facilitating organic transformation reactions in a sustainable manner. However,
