Research led by Tiarnan Keenan, MD, PhD, explored minocycline's potential in dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, findings revealed no significant benefits in slowing vision loss related to geographic atrophy (GA) expansion. Despite minocycline's anti-inflammatory properties, the 2-year trial involving 37 patients showed no difference in GA expansion rates or vision loss compared to baseline.

As we mark #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth, we are proud to share significant progress in our a-synuclein PET tracer program, bringing us closer to an imaging agent for the diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease. ACI-12589 has proven specific and selective for a-syn, enabling us to visualize a-syn pathology in humans for the first time—a game changer for diagnosing multiple system atrophy and a leap towards #PrecisionMedicine. As we continue this journey, we are further leveraging our Morphomer platform to develop an imaging agent specifically optimized for #ParkinsonsDisease. Promising candidates such as ACI-15916 effectively bind to both large and smaller a-synuclein aggregates – crucial for detecting toxic proteins associated with Parkinson’s. The next-generation #asyn-PET tracer for PD is a critical step towards understanding and treating these complex diseases, much like how Abeta-PET has propelled Alzheimer’s clinical development. We are paving new paths in PD & MSA research, bringing hope to those affected by Parkinson's and MSA. For more details on our efforts to deliver the first PD tracer, watch Francesca Capotosti’s full presentation here: https://lnkd.in/gr6T5qK8 #ParkinsonsAwareness #NeurodegenerativeDiseases

We want to recognize ALCORIX CO on their recent #NINDS #STTR Phase 2 award. Their STTR proposal entitled "Implantable Microarray Probe for Real-Time Glutamate and GABA Detection" will focus on developing and testing a novel, first-on-the-market implantable biosensor for in vivo, real-time sensing of gamma-aminobutyric acid (#GABA) and #glutamate (GLU) for animal studies. GLU-GABA dysregulation plays a critical role in several brain disorders, including #epilepsy, #dementia and #parkinsonsdisease.

📣 We are thrilled to announce our participation in the leading Spanish Hepatology Congress, by Asociación Española del Estudio del Hígado, where we have presented an original scientific poster. 🆕 This new research is the result of our R&D team, focused on developing an improved culture model using human precision-cut liver slices (hPCLS) to investigate the phenotype and functionality of the hepatic sinusoid in the context of chronic liver disease. By using our patent-protected chip with microfluidics, we are able to culture hPCLS with: ✔ Extended half-life, up to 7 days. ✔ Enhanced structural and functional integrity of the tissue. ✔ Prevention of the loss of the sinusoidal cell phenotype. This model represents a new research tool that brings us closer to clinical applications compared to traditional models 🚀 #AEEH2024 #Liver #Sinusoid #Hepatology #Cirrhosis #ACLD #PCLS #3Dmodel #Scientificinnovation
