Immunophenotyping dementia Congratulations @M_Malpetti Alex Strauss John O'Brien and NIMROD group at @CambridgeBRC and collaborators @NicholasAshton Henrik Zetterberg @UCLIoN @UniofGothenburg AD, FTD, CBS, PSP, LBD 👉TREM2+ vs classical monocytes correlate with survival
It is brilliant to see one of the first projects out of my lab now published on @molpsychiatry! Congrats to Alex, all lab members and collaborators involved - and huge thanks to the participants and families, and all our funders! Enjoy the read: nature.com/articles/s4138…
It is fantastic to be working together with @CurePSP - an amazing charity, run by brilliant people - to accelerate research towards finding treatments for people living with PSP and CBD!
💡We're excited to announce the recipients of our Pipeline Grants! These grants support researchers developing new therapeutics and biomarkers for PSP and CBD. Their innovative work drives us closer to breakthrough treatments. Learn more about their work: psp.org/iwanttolearn/r…
not sure why X gives the "warning sensitive content" - this is a great study, we are proud to support. @racingdementia and @M_Malpetti are *sensitive* to the urgent need for better diagnosis and treatment
A simple blood test to help detect signs of dementia decades before it develops is being rolled out across the UK by the University of Cambridge. Part of a new study, the researchers are backed by @RacingDementia, the charity founded by Formula 1 racing legend Sir Jackie…
Very proud of the team for showing that restoring GABA can mitigate behavioral & physiological deficits following frontotemporal lobar degeneration A drug x MEG x PSP|FTD study #PSP #FTD @wellcometrust @mrccbu @CambridgeBRC @CurePSP @PSPAssociation alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…
Henderson et al (@HendersonShalom) analysed connected speech samples from patients with primary progressive aphasia, progressive supranuclear palsy, & corticobasal syndrome & optimised simple, practical word checklists for 2 widely used picture-narratives: doi.org/10.1093/brainc…
Rouse et al. report that social- and non-social semantic memory are degraded in frontotemporal dementia following bilateral anterior temporal lobe atrophy. Read at: buff.ly/3BKsOsr @mattr19909 @Ajay_Halai @SidRamanan @pg220 @CambridgeFTD @mrccbu
Wonderful to see your commitment, talent, and effectiveness in science communication being recognised by #WinUKAwards2024 @WomeninNeuroUK with colleagues, students, the public, schools and people with neurological conditions @mrccbu @Cambridge_Uni
Having a fantastic time at #WiNUKAwards2024 @WomeninNeuroUK with @BraintasticSci - thank you so much for a lovely evening so far and the "Communicator of the Year" award 🏆🧠 #scicomm

Fantastic morning at the #DGN Kongress 2024 Berlin, discussing #SynapticHealth and synaptic biomarkers in blood, CSF, PET and pathology. Thanks to Markus Otto, Patrick Oeckl, Dietmar Thal @lorbarba and @M_Malpetti and the great audience @wbic_cam @DementiasUK
Do you have post doctoral informatics/biostatistics skills, and want to find the best blood based biomarkers for dementia? Come and join @DementiasUK at @Cambridge_Uni @CambridgeBRC and the READOUT study team @alzheimerssoc @AlzResearchUK @NIHRresearch 👇 jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/49062
Great to see @mrccbu and @CambridgeFTD ‘s old friend Luca Passamonti discussing biomarkers in support of therapeutics at #Neuro2024 @CurePSP - now at the “other Cambridge”
@CurePSP NEURO2024 underway in Toronto with great sessions and panels on genetics, biomarkers, PET, and more - including @M_Malpetti discussing PET assays of inflammation and synapses
How to recognise it and why it matters Frontotemporal Dementia with Right Anterior Temporal Predominance - consensus Recommendations of the IWG out now medrxiv.org/content/10.110… oh, and the name? answers on a postcard please #rtvFTD #esvFTD #rightSD @AlzheimerAms #HulyaUlugut
The prefrontal cortex - it does so much that makes us who we are as people. Inspired? puzzled? want to know more? The @ESI_Frankfurt have published the definitive guide, to PFC in health, disease, evolution, structure, function, cognition & more see esforum.de/publications/s…
Semantic variant primary progressive aphasia #svPPA (#SemanticDementia) Is it genetic ? Looks increasingly unlikely, in puzzling contrast to other forms of frontotemporal dementia See new data from @HendersonShalom @mrccbu and @GENFI1 team medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Why do people stay well for so many years despite carrying frontotemporal dementia gene mutations from the start? See @XulinLiu @kamentsve @GENFI1 et al's new study in @alzdemjournals to understand resilience and compensation for preclinical pathology alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…
