[DIYbio] Idealab - Wed Oct 2nd 5.30pm PST - Long-term effects of Aβ42 immunisation in Alzheimer’s disease

Dear All, 

Please join us all for the next Journal Club discussion!

Journal Club is next Wednesday, Oct 2nd at 5:30pm PST
John Schloendorn will be reviewing the following paper:

Long-term effects of Aβ42 immunisation in Alzheimer's disease: follow-up of a randomised, placebo-controlled phase I trial

http://www.meetup.com/Berkeley-Biolabs/events/141420912/

Clive Holmes, et al.

Summary: Background Immunisation of patients with Alzheimer's disease with full-length amyloid-β peptide (Aβ42) can clear amyloid plaques from the brain. Our aim was to assess the relation between Aβ42 immune response, degree of plaque removal, and long-term clinical outcomes.

One claim made in the paper is that patients "with virtually complete plaque removal, had severe end stage dementia." John would like us to discuss this claim, and determine if really supported by the data. If yes, how? If not, what else might the data mean?

Look forward to a wonderful discussion. Please make sure to make a zoom.us account to join the discussion.
