@ARUK_Manc
We are a network of dementia research scientists based across the NW of England, supported by Alzheimer's Research UK. Follow for updates, grant calls & events!
📢NW Network members... Our ARUK North West Network Science Day is happening on Friday 5 September at The Dalton Building at @ManchesterMet Want to be considered to give a talk? email: [email protected] Register now: shorturl.at/b4csY

Check out our recent paper in @braincomms: C9orf72 dipeptides activate the NLRP3 inflammasome 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 With @choyle22, @mere_conjecture, @ComorbidCath, @DNS_UOM, @GJBrainResearch & funded primarily by @AlzSocResearch
Rivers-Auty et al., find that C9orf72 dipeptides cause neuroinflammation in frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and highlight the inflammasome as a therapeutic target. Please read the full paper at: edin.ac/3XMzmyV @DrSarahRyan
Great day packed with interesting talks at the @ARUK_Manc network science day today. Every speaker was fantastic! Special thanks to our guest speakers Wendy Noble & @AxL_Montagne for excellent key note talks, and to @ComorbidCath for doing the bulk of organising.
NEW PAPER ALERT! 🚨 And it dropped on my bday, so thanks @braincomms! C9orf72 dipeptides activate the NLRP3 inflammasome 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 Huge thanks to @choyle22, @mere_conjecture, @ComorbidCath & the rest of the team not on X, plus @AlzSocResearch for funding. academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…
Super exciting (and heavy) delivery this morning! All 100 packs of my Biological Research Top Trumps! If you would like some packs for your lab's public engagement activities, please get in touch! (Also extremely fun for grown up scientists) Funded by the @NC3Rs
ALZHEIMER'S DRUG PROPOSALS WANTED!! I'm delighted that @NIHRresearch are funding development of a UK platform trial for people with symptomatic AD. This is a partnership between @MRCCTU & @DementiasUK + many others, & supported by @ARUKscientist @alzheimerssoc @UKDRI. Please RT!
Fantastic talk from @Winchy_l on the association between haemoglobin levels and cognitive scores in dementia #arukconf24
Well done to those from the ARUK North West network in organising a great Early Careers Day at the #ARUKConf24 @ARUK_Manc @ARUKscientist
