Description

Rajbanshi, Brentari, Denti, Cummings, and Guruacharya wrote a review in twenty twenty-six on RNA-based therapies for Alzheimer's disease and kin tau diseases. These diseases feature buildup of a protein called tau in the brain. Antibody and small-molecule drugs have failed in many trials so far. RNA therapies can target tau at its molecular source instead. The review surveys forms like messenger RNA, antisense strands, and splicing switches. Each form carries distinct promises for tau control. Shared hurdles include delivery to the brain and durability.

The authors outline molecular targets now in play. They track clinical trials and patent trends in the young field. Translational barriers get a full treatment in the review. The piece maps a nascent route to disease-modifying care.
