Happy 32nd Birthday to ApoE in Dementia research🎈 On this day in 1993, Dr. Allen D. Roses (et al.) published that the presence of APOE4 genotype reliably predicts risk of early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Needless to say the AD research community was skeptical.

Colleagues at Row Fogo Centre for Research into Ageing and the Brain (@svdresearch.bsky.social) have revealed how specific blood biomarkers may help predict the progression of cerebral small vessel disease — a major contributor to #stroke and #dementia. Read the full paper: edin.ac/4cZfM8q

Our perspective in @natrevimmunol.nature.com on new concepts in neuroimmune interactions that have challenged the old dogma that immune privilege is a result of the isolation of the nervous and immune systems. @jonykipnis.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Well done Dany!!! 👏🤩 alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🧠 PhD position available! Study polypathology in the medial temporal lobe at the Paris Brain Institute with @lemwisse.bsky.social , @nvillain-alz.bsky.social and myself. This exciting project combines neuroimaging, neuropathology and cognition! Please share widely 🙏

Next up: Audrey Chagnot from @ukdri.ac.uk Montagne Lab: ‘From Decline to Resilience: New Perspectives on the Roles of Pericytes at the Blood-Brain Barrier’ 🧠🧠🧠

Microglia & monocyte-derived cells were long assumed to have similar functions during remyelination. Our new paper @plosbiology.org shows non-redundant roles, with monocytes ultimately inhibiting remyelination.

Omega 3 could play a vital role in protecting against motor neuron disease, new research led by @adrianisaacs.bsky.social reveals💡 The study in flies and cells found that increasing levels of certain fatty acids prolonged survival. Read more ⬇️

Astrocytic cannabinoid receptor 1 promotes resilience to stress in males by dampening stress-induced blood–brain barrier alterations 🧪🧠 @caromenard666.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So excited to share the work of the fantastic Katarzyna, 1st 🧪PhD student of my lab 🧠, out in @natureneuro.bsky.social 🥂🥳 Cheers to the team, thanks to our precious collaborators and support from @braincanada.bsky.social #CIHR @fondsrechercheqc.bsky.social #newPI www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Really excited this is out! We found polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were beneficial in models of C9orf72 FTD/ALS and the greatest benefit occurred when increasing levels specifically within neurons @ukdri.ac.uk @uclqsion.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk @cziscience.bsky.social rdcu.be/ebbZf

Our paper on the superficial glia limitans is now published - huge thank you to all co-authors that helped getting this work across the finish line! www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Thank you so much Caroline ! 😁 A lovely city, I will definitely come back and take some time to visit! Very impressed with all your work at @cervo-ulaval.bsky.social (especially Laurence's) and all your fantastic lab members and colleagues over there 🤩 Currently on the bus for my 1st connection 💪

One day, I'll finish this illustration, but I keep adding more details... #art #illustration #kidlitart

Fantastic new work led by @milenevandal.bsky.social showing that loss of brain endothelial CD2AP in mice alters memory and cerebrovascular function. Interestingly, mutations in CD2AP are known to predispose to Alzheimer’s disease! #cerebrovascular

New paper led by @silvia-anderle.bsky.social Lifestyle matters for genetic Alzheimer’s disease risk: APOE4 reduces neurovascular function most in an already-stressed system,  when neurons are active and mice do less exercise. I'll tell you all about it! 🧪 #neuroscience #alzheimers rdcu.be/d74uh

Shoutout to an amazing team - great science is only possible because of great people! 😍

Get your cerebral blood flow and metabolism abstracts in for Brain and BrainPET 2025 in Seoul! Deadline Feb 1st!! I’m so excited! www.brain2025.org
