Neuropathology in the Biomarker Age & Sleep in Lewy Body Disease, AD/PD™ Session Spotlight

<p>In this episode, we spotlight <strong>Plenary Lectures 01 and 02</strong> from the <strong>AD/PD™ 2026 International Conference</strong>, held on March 17, 2026. The lectures were chaired by Sandra O. Moose (USA) and Prof. Gabriel Gold (Switzerland).</p><p><br></p><p>Plenary Lecture 01, &quot;Understanding Neurodegenerative Diseases Today: Lessons from Clinicopathological Correlations and the Ongoing Role of Neuropathology in the Biomarker Age,&quot; was presented by Prof. Lea Grinberg (USA). Plenary Lecture 02, the Eric N. Birch Lecture, &quot;Key Sleep Issues Pertinent to the Development and Progression of Neurodegeneration in Lewy Body Disease and Related Disorders,&quot; was presented by Prof. Bradley Boeve (USA).</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key highlights from this session include:</strong></p><p><br></p><p>• Why biomarker positivity alone can oversimplify disease biology — illustrated by patients with positive Alzheimer&#39;s biomarkers but very different syndromes and autopsy findings </p><p>• How the predictive value of a positive biomarker depends heavily on age and pretest probability, a growing concern as blood-based tests reach beyond specialty clinics </p><p>• Copathology as the rule rather than the exception in Alzheimer&#39;s, helping explain why symptoms, trajectories and treatment responses vary so widely </p><p>• Neuropathology as an active field still defining new targets — from LATE, ARTAG and caspase-6-truncated tau to TMEM106B and annexin A11 pathologies </p><p>• Evidence that neuromodulatory subcortical nuclei, including the locus coeruleus and orexinergic neurons, may be affected before the entorhinal cortex, reframing early neuropsychiatric symptoms as manifestations of the earliest biology </p><p>• REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) as a prodromal synucleinopathy, present in roughly 80–85% of dementia with Lewy bodies and often preceding other features by years or decades </p><p>• Data showing about 80% of individuals with isolated RBD phenoconvert to Parkinson&#39;s disease, DLB or MSA within 14 years, though timing and phenotype remain unpredictable </p><p>• The state-dissociation framework linking DLB with narcolepsy, and the orexin system as a key stabilizer of the sleep-wake switch and a potential therapeutic target </p><p>• Isolated RBD as one of the best windows for disease-modifying intervention, supported by longitudinal platforms such as NAPS, PPMI and the International RBD Study Group</p><p><br></p><p>Together, these lectures established two complementary messages for clinicians and researchers: neuropathology remains essential for correct biological interpretation in the biomarker era, and sleep and subcortical systems may offer some of the earliest, most actionable signals of neurodegeneration in both Alzheimer&#39;s and Lewy body disease.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is particularly relevant for neurologists, neuroscientists, neuropathologists, sleep medicine specialists, translational scientists, clinical trialists, biomarker researchers, and biotech and pharma professionals working across Alzheimer&#39;s disease and synucleinopathies.</p><p><br></p><p>This podcast was created using AI to provide a concise and insightful summary of an AD/PD™ 2026 session. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, listeners are encouraged to consult official conference materials for detailed information.</p><p><br></p><p>The AD/PD™ 2026 International Conference on Alzheimer&#39;s and Parkinson&#39;s Diseases and related neurological disorders took place March 17–21, 2026, in Copenhagen, Denmark.</p><p><br></p><p>🔗 https://adpd.kenes.com</p>

Moonshots and Milestones: Is the Future of Neurodegeneration Drug Discovery in Startups, Big Pharma, or Academia? AD/PD™ Session Spotlight

<p>In this episode, we will cover the <strong>Fireside Debate</strong> &quot;Moonshots and Milestones: Is the Future of Neurodegeneration Drug Discovery in Startups, Big Pharma, or Academia?&quot; that took place on March 17, 2026 at the <strong>AD/PD™ 2026 International Conference</strong>. </p><p><br></p><p>The debate was moderated by Dr. Henrietta Nielsen (Sweden) and Prof. Philip Scheltens (Netherlands), with expert contributions from Dr. Geoffrey Kerchner (Switzerland), Prof. Cynthia Lemere (USA), Dr. Mark Mintun (USA), Dr. Marco Prado (Canada), and Prof. Niranjan Bose (USA).</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Key highlights from this session include:</strong></p><p>• The field has moved from repeated uncertainty to cautious optimism, anchored by disease-modifying anti-amyloid therapies that demonstrably slow Alzheimer&#39;s progression</p><p>• Acceptance of biological heterogeneity in dementia, and how biomarker-driven stratification has reshaped diagnosis and trial design</p><p>• The persistent gap between biomarker change and clinically meaningful outcomes, with cognition, function and independence remaining the endpoints that matter most</p><p>• Blood-based biomarkers as potentially transformative for moving diagnosis beyond specialist centers into neurology clinics and primary care</p><p>• Complementary views on the field&#39;s bottlenecks — surrogate endpoints and recruitment for industry, funding and slow translation for academia, outdated cognitive tools, and fragmented data infrastructure</p><p>• The growing role of AI, multimodal data and data harmonization, alongside recognition that neurodegeneration still lags other fields in deploying AI</p><p>• Strong support for combination therapy, with anti-amyloid treatment as an anchor and tau-directed or anti-inflammatory strategies layered on top</p><p>• A closing consensus on the ideal ecosystem: openness, cross-sector collaboration, data sharing, smarter enrollment, sustained patient engagement, and support for early-career investigators</p><p><br></p><p>The panel conveyed that disease modification is now real but still modest, that blood-based biomarkers are poised to reshape diagnostic and treatment pathways, and that future progress will depend on combination approaches, better surrogate markers, and coordinated collaboration across the neurodegeneration ecosystem. Encouragingly, participants agreed the next breakthrough should not take another 25 years — the field now has working therapies, sharper tools, and better biological resolution than ever before.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is particularly relevant for neurologists, clinical trialists, translational scientists, biotech and pharma professionals, academic researchers, data and AI experts, and patient advocacy leaders working across the neurodegenerative disease landscape.</p><p>This podcast was created using AI to provide a concise and insightful summary of an AD/PD™ 2026 session.
