Two recent studies demonstrated that the scientific method that serves as the basis for C2N Diagnostics’ PrecivityAD™ blood test scored best compared to others assays in their respective ability to identify amyloid plaque. The C2N Diagnostics PrecivityAD™ blood test that clinicians use to aid in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease is underpinned by the liquid ...
C2N Diagnostics says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) decision granting accelerated approval to aducanumab (Aduhelm) on the basis of amyloid plaque reduction for Alzheimer’s treatment represents a significant change in the ongoing fight against the horrible disease. Dr. Joel Braunstein, C2N’s CEO, said, “The accelerated approval of aducanumab will offer a ...
C2N Diagnostics, which offers the PrecivityAD™ blood test that can help detect if certain markers for Alzheimer’s disease are in the brain, now has its analytical validation results available for review. The study appears in Clinica Chimica Acta, the official peer-reviewed journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine. The article is titled ...

Research published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease this week suggests healthy older adults are less capable of observing their own cognitive decline over an 18 month period than Cogstate’s computerized brief battery (CBB). The study, conducted by neuropsychologists, also indicated that close family members were unable to perceive decline in the cognitive behavior of their ...
New findings in mice suggest that the timing when the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is released in the brain's hippocampus may play a key role in regulating the strength of nerve cell connections, called synapses. Understanding the complex nature of neuronal signaling at synapses could lead to better understanding of learning and memory, and novel treatments for relevant disorders, such as ...

Alzheimer’s disease is one of the fastest growing diseases in Australia and the most common form of dementia. The number of people with dementia is expected to rise from 300,000 to 1.13 million by 2050. Alzheimer’s disease is associated with the development of a toxic protein in the brain known as amyloid beta. The amyloid beta protein rapidly self-assembles in the brain and builds ...
