On 2 July, the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease (JAD) announced that Dr Yan-Jiang Wang and Dr Xian-Le Bu, both of Daping Hospital, Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China, are joint recipients of the 2019 Alzheimer Award. The award is presented by the journal in recognition of a groundbreaking article that presents clear evidence that gut microbiota composition is altered in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), authored by Dr Wang, Dr Bu and colleagues. The article suggests that gut microbiota participate in the disease pathogenesis, and modulation of gut microbiota might be a potential therapeutic strategy for AD. The 2019 winning paper is “Gut Microbiota is Altered in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease” (Zhuang et al., J Alzheimers Dis 63, 1337–1346, 2018). It is freely available to everyone to read, download, and share. Find out more, here:
