Two week to go until running the NYC Marathon for @TheADDF. Donate today!👇🏃🏽♂️
Friends, I'm running the @NYCMarathon this fall for @TheADDF for the 12th time. I'd love your support as I run to help find better treatment and a cure for Alzheimer's! 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️ #TeamADDF

On World Alzheimer’s Day, we recognize the urgency and extraordinary progress underway. The ADDF is investing in bold science and helping accelerate a future in which combination therapies and precision medicine define how we diagnose and ultimately treat Alzheimer’s.
Sex hormones like estrogen have long been studied for their role in women’s health, and researchers are continuing to uncover how hormonal changes across menopause may influence brain health. @LiveScience

We’re thrilled to introduce the ADDF’s new LinkedIn newsletter. Each issue will bring you exclusive insights from our scientists and leaders, along with the latest scientific advances, investment trends, and key developments shaping the field. bit.ly/4xQrZ96
The ADDF’s Aaron Burstein spoke with @Inc about LM11A-31, an experimental therapy from ADDF-funded PharmatrophiX that may protect synapses and reduce harmful changes linked to both tau and amyloid in Alzheimer’s.

The ADDF’s CEO, Isobel Coleman, has seen firsthand the extraordinary progress in Alzheimer’s research. She shares how the ADDF will carry that progress forward through scientific expertise, strategic investment, and collaboration. bit.ly/4ghOsV0
The FDA clearance of @C2NDiagnostics' PrecivityAD2 blood test marks another major milestone in the rapid shift toward more accessible and scalable Alzheimer’s diagnostics, moving Alzheimer’s care closer to precision medicine.

Researchers say the oral drug LM11A-31 slowed the decline of brain-network function in a small trial, pointing to a potential broader strategy for treating Alzheimer’s. trib.al/uFQbyYo
Tau research is gaining momentum as the field looks beyond amyloid. In @AARP, the ADDF's Interim Chief Science Officer Laura Nisenbaum explains why tau is closely tied to cognitive decline and why it remains an important target in Alzheimer’s. aarp.org/health/conditions-t…

Patients with early #Alzheimers disease experienced slower cognitive decline and greater reductions in #tau with #diranersen compared with placebo, researchers from @biogen said at #AAIC26. Also, @TheADDF comments.

For 25 years, the ADDF has supported the work of Dr. Frank Longo, including an early investment in PharmatrophiX. That long-term support is reflected in the continued progress of LM11A-31, which Dr. Longo recently discussed on @CNBC's Squawk Box.

“Subcutaneous approval is an important step toward the kind of scalable care model #Alzheimers will need as the field moves from single-drug treatment toward combination therapies,” said Dr. Laura Nisenbaum of @TheADDF.

New phase 2 data presented by @Biogen today at #AAIC2026 show diranersen (#BIIB080) is the first tau-targeting drug to demonstrate a robust biomarker effect and clinical signal.

“#Alzheimer’s is not driven by a single mechanism. It involves amyloid, tau, and novel pathways like #inflammation, vascular health and metabolism,” Dr. Laura Nisenbaum of @TheADDF said about what she expects to see at #AAIC26.
