335! We thank #NSP participants & their loved ones, participating @allftd investigators & their teams, sponsors, and the many others who made this achievement possible.

[Neurofilament Surveillance Project @NSP_Study]

The Neurofilament Surveillance Project has met its goal of enrolling 335 participants in its remote blood biomarker study on familial frontotemporal degeneration (#FTLD)! This is an important milestone in our efforts to identify and validate biomarkers for FTLD. @BluefieldProj

Kudos to @Being_Patient_ for this timely coverage of #progranulin (#GRN) FTD and the promising experimental therapeutics being tested in the clinic.

[Being Patient @Being_Patient_]

🧬 Mutations in the GRN gene are the most common #genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia (#FTD).

💊 Experimental pills and #gene therapies are vying to be the first to prevent and slow the #disease.

@fenghua_hu Great to see you, and looking forward to your leadership for GC 2028!

[Bluefield Project @BluefieldProj]

@BluefieldProj is attending the Gordon Research Conference for #FTD & Related Rare Dementias (Feb 15–20, 2026). Looking forward to connecting with researchers advancing progranulin & FTD science. Attending? Let’s meet. 📩 [email protected]

@BluefieldProj to speak at the #FNIH Biomarkers Consortium Symposium (Feb 9–10, Bethesda, MD).
Looking forward to discussions on biomarkers, collaboration, and advancing neurodegenerative disease research—including #FTD.

Earlier this week, @EliLillyandCo discontinued investigational gene therapy LY3884963 (PR006) for 𝘎𝘙𝘕-FTD, citing lack of efficacy. Data to be shared at a future meeting.

Thank you to Lilly, Prevail Therapeutics, and trial participants.

Another meaningful way to get involved this year: listening, learning, and staying informed. 🎧 #FTD-focused podcasts and education—like the
@RememberMePodcast,
@AFTD’s Educational Webinars, and
@4theirthoughts' valuable perspectives from families, clinicians, and researchers.

[Bluefield Project @BluefieldProj]

Getting involved doesn’t always start in a lab—it often starts with community. Orgs like @AFTDHope, #CureGRN, @CureMaptFtd , @CurePSP, @End_the_Legacy, #RememberMePodcast and #ForTheirThoughtsFoundation provide vital advocacy, education, and support for families affected by #FTD.

[Bluefield Project @BluefieldProj]

It’s a new year—and a new way to learn about clinical trials. Clinical trials help determine whether new therapies are safe and effective, and participation moves #FTD research forward.

A new year is a natural time to turn intention into action.
Getting involved in FTD research — joining the @EndFTDregistry, studies like #ALLFTD and #GENFI, and exploring clinical trials helps move potential treatments forward.
