We studied 100 fly orthologs of Alzheimer’s risk genes and found several crucial for CNS structure, function, or stress resilience and some also affecting Aβ and tau toxicity. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #Alzheimer's #Drosophila #brain #neurons What gene would you follow up on from our results?

Revealing the nervous system requirements of Alzheimer’s disease risk genes in Drosophila

Most Alzheimer’s disease (AD) susceptibility genes have poorly understood roles in the central nervous system (CNS). To address this gap, we systematically characterized 100 conserved candidate AD ris...

My mom got polio a couple of months before the vaccine got to Mexico. She passed her teenage years in bed and was only able to walk again for the uncountable hours her grandma spent giving her therapy. #vaccinesSafeLives

New review: together with PhD student Ciarán Butler-Hallissey, we provide a comprehensive overview on how super-resolution microscopy can dissect the neuronal cytoskeleton, and the exciting perspectives ahead. Shock full of beautiful images, published or from our lab! www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Recently saw this while preparing some teaching material on the #History_of_Neuroscience. This is special. Here #Cajal is sharing his reaction after seeing neurons stained with the #Golgi_stain. #Cajal_and_Golgi had conflicting views about the structure of the neurons.
