We now have a blood biomarker that is even more strongly associated with tau PET and cognitive symptoms than even p-tau217! Plasma eMTBR-tau243 will help us to understand whether cognitive impairment is likely to be related to Alzheimer's pathology. #ENDALZ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Tens of thousands of psychological measures have been created, but 79% are not reused more than twice. In a new article in NHB lead by @faridanvari.bsky.social and @ruben.the100.ci we quantify this fragmentation in psychology's measures and propose solutions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Key recommendations for sharing information with memory clinic patients: - Ask about needs and preferences, and re-assess over time - Tailor information to the patient (e.g., test results, diagnosis, prognosis) - Provide jargon-free communication in verbal and visual form See full article below 👇🏻

There is so much to learn about lab work or team management that is not scientific. We tend to kludge together our own method by trial and error, which is why it is special that @immunolcellbiol.bsky.social collects hints and tips from others to share: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal...
