Are you using 5xFAD mice to study Alzheimer’s disease? Our work @NeuroCellPress may be relevant to you 🐁 Age and sex are known to influence Aβ plaque burden in these mice. Here, we found that the transgene parentage is another strong determinant. (1/11) cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

#GLIA2025 is right around the corner! Catch the poster presentations from @KlausNave’s group and talk all things glia in health and in Alzheimer’s disease ✌🏼 @gliameeting

Amyloid-beta accumulation in centenarians is associated with reduced cognitive performance and is not a benign aspect of aging. ja.ma/4lskuhU
What is the role of myelin in Alzheimer's disease? Excited to share our new Perspective in @NatureCellBio, where we review the role of oligos and myelination in AD, with Anna Bright, @JoelWBlanchard1 and Li-Huei Tsai. nature.com/articles/s4155…
In this piece of brain tissue the size of sand grain are 200,000 neurons and nearly 2.5 miles of axons. While it may seem small in size, it was previously thought impossible to map. The road to this beautiful image is both a scientific and human triumph: alleninstitute.org/news/scientist…

Hello Everyone! New review alert - a new hypothesis disentangling Alzheimer's & Parkinson's! Lots of co-occurrence in these diseases, including Dementia with Lewy Bodies. It reconciles this common overlap by connecting disease pathologies & senescence: dx.doi.org/10.1002/alz.70…
