Prodromal frontotemporal dementia can be tricky to identify with confidence, making the detection and study of early stages of illness especially difficult. New research diagnostic criteria for "MCBMI" have good accuracy Alberto Benussi GENFI ALLFTD alzres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…


Final programme now online for May 15th’s meeting - ftduk.org. From digital metrics (Rhian Convery) and novel pathology (Tammaryn Lashley) to TBK1 models, extracellular vesicles (Dr. Steph Fowler) and TDP-43 (Anna Sanchez Avila), with novel therapies (Orchard Therapeutics - U.S., Alchemab Therapeutics).
