Hang on…. Could microglia build amyloid plaques? Can’t say for sure yet, but check out what a rare disease called FBD can teach us about dementia. My first preprint with @WrayLabUCL @tammarynlashley @DervisSalih1 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Microglia produce the amyloidogenic ABri peptide in familial British dementia

Mutations in ITM2B cause familial British, Danish, Chinese and Korean dementias. In familial British dementia (FBD) a mutation in the stop codon of the ITM2B gene (also known as BRI2 ) causes a...

Our next #ARUKImageOfTheWeek captures stem cells in the process of turning into new-born nerve cells! @celarber works in the @WraylabUCL to investigate how nerve cells in the brain work and what happens to them in diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Willumsen et al. report that patient-derived iPSCs containing the Presenilin 1 E280G mutation display a high relative production of Abeta43, a finding matched in post-mortem tissue with the same mutation. @selinawray @WraylabUCL bit.ly/3HHbOSO
