Congratulations to our collaborator, Liam Walker, on being awarded the @NCAresearchNHS Star of the month!
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
