When you hear the words Alzheimer's disease, what do you think of? The truth is, the picture most of us have of the disease is incomplete. Alzheimer's disease doesn't start when someone starts to lose their memory. It actually starts years – sometimes decades – earlier. The Rethinking Alzheimer's Disease Podcast is an engaging, narrative-style podcast miniseries for those curious or motivated to learn about Alzheimer’s disease. Perhaps you have a family member with Alzheimer’s disease, or ca ...

In this week's episode we'll learn about Azacitidine in VEXAS syndrome. Treatment can provide responses in patients with this complex autoinflammatory disorder. But relapse rates were high, so long-term therapy may be required to maintain disease control. After that: A step forward in precision blood matching. High-throughput array genotyping enables extended matching to reduce antibody formation. The results show the potential for reducing harm in regularly transfused patients. Finally, identifying a new vulnerability in TP53-mutated AML. Loss of the tumor suppressor BAP1 defines a unique subtype of TP53-mutated de novo AML. BAP1 loss also confers sensitivity to BCL-xL inhibitors in vivo, opening a new therapeutic avenue.
