Latest paper from the team at MBB! Apolipoprotein‐E genotyping in formalin‐fixed and paraffin‐embedded post‐mortem brain tissue onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Congratulations to @MinshNeuro on his first 'first author' paper!
Proud to share my first first-name paper! It's been a long time coming. @MancBrainBank Apolipoprotein‐E genotyping in formalin‐fixed and paraffin‐embedded post‐mortem brain tissue - Minshull - Brain Pathology - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Our latest collaborative paper suggests long-term intellectual engagement, particularly in academic professions, may offer benefits for cognitive aging. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
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

New paper alert! Blocking Hippo to boost cognition: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Don’t miss this week’s issue of #ScienceSignaling! Experiments in mice suggest that a neuron-supporting factor could be a promising target in depression, scientists discover a new approach that boosts memory in models of Alzheimer’s disease, and more. scim.ag/6N0

My first ever research paper is out !! 👩🏼🔬🎉 👉👉pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38327788/ A natural product "brazilin" inhibits the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, a key driver of numerous inflammatory human diseases including those affecting the brain such as stroke and dementia.
The countdown is on to the Jeff Showcase 2024! We're really looking forward to welcoming everyone this Friday at Hyatt Regency Manchester. All the details, from venue to programme can be found here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/geoffrey-jef… See you there! #Jeffshowcase2024
