Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 2: The mission to prevent CTE and brain injuries
Q: How close are we to having living biomarkers or diagnostic tools for CTE?
Researchers are pursuing biomarkers and imaging approaches (e.g., MRI) in living subjects and animal models to map progression and identify at-risk individuals, but a definitive living test is not yet available.
Episode 2: The mission to prevent CTE and brain injuries
Q: What does CTE look like in its early stages, and how does it progress over time?
It starts with subtle cognitive and behavioral changes, like word-finding difficulties, which slowly evolve into more noticeable issues with memory, relationships, and control, a progression that can span decades.
Episode 1: Huntington's disease and learning more about the Centre for Brain Research
Q: Can you tell me a bit about both of those approaches (the surgical intervention and the drug) and how they might change the trajectory of the disease?
Two main strategies are described: an invasive approach that injects a gene-silencing compound directly into the basal ganglia to reduce mutant Huntington's expression by a substantial margin (potentially slowing progression by about 60-75%), and a tablet form of SKY0515 that lowers the mutant protein in the blood and slows symptoms; Phase 2/3 trials are underway to determine effectiveness and safety, with the potential to delay disease progression and reduce the burden on patients and families.
