Alzheimer disease: Amyloid peptide controversies and challenges of anti-Aβ immunotherapy

Elsevier,

Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, Volume 392, August 2025

This review discusses the dual role of amyloid-beta (Aβ) in Alzheimer's disease (AD). While Aβ accumulation is a hallmark of AD pathology, soluble Aβ also plays a neuroprotective role in regulating synaptic plasticity and memory. The review explores the potential of anti-Aβ immunotherapy as a treatment strategy, highlighting the need to balance targeting toxic Aβ species while preserving the physiological functions of Aβ.`

Lifetime walking and Alzheimer's pathology: A longitudinal study in older adults

Elsevier,

Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease, Volume 12, 1 August 2025

The study found that long-duration and high-intensity walking were associated with reduced amyloid-beta accumulation over 4 years, with the greatest benefits seen in those who started walking earlier in life. However, walking activity was not linked to changes in tau deposition, neurodegeneration, or white matter hyperintensities.
