Pleased to share our new paper in Alzheimer’s Research and Therapy, as part of the collection on Advances in LBD research! We found that DTI-ALPS was reduced in DLB and PDD relative to PD and controls. DTI-ALPS was also further reduced for DLB versus PD link.springer.com/article/10.1... (1/3)

Join the LBD PIA ISTAART Journal Club on 29 April, 5pm London time. Hear from authors on biomarkers and survival in Lewy body dementia, with live Q and A. Don’t miss it. www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/event/lbd-pi...

Really excited to share first published paper of the year! Thank you to @uclbrainscience.bsky.social for highlighting: www.ucl.ac.uk/brain-scienc.... We found different organisational changes in Lewy body disease patients with dementia versus those with intact cognition, using structural gradients.

Great to see this published @movedisorder.bsky.social movementdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...: We found that DTI-ALPS (a proposed indirect proxy for glymphatic clearance) is lower in Parkinson's patients who progress to poor cognitive outcomes, and correlates with cognition. 1/2

Pleased to share our new work. Black communities face higher Parkinson’s disease burden, but we know they remain underrepresented in research. We highlight the key barriers - distrust, stigma, and accessibility - and offer community-driven recommendations to increasing research engagement.

Really pleased to share our new paper in @alzdemjournals.bsky.social. We compared plasma biomarkers and diffusion MRI between DLB, PDD and PD – to our knowledge this is the first report of plasma p-tau217 concentrations in LBD and PD! dx.doi.org/10.1002/alz....

Thank you so much to @braincomms.bsky.social for highlighting our work! TLDR: white matter maters - do read the paper for more! And thank you to all amazing co-authors without whom this project would not have been possible (amongst them on bluesky: @naomihannaway.bsky.social @rimonaweil.bsky.social)
