Very happy to see this paper out!
New paper alert🚨
Our new study led by @dtleffa & @guilhermepovala published @alzdemjournals links genetic risk for ADHD to more severe dementia.

Very proud to share this one! Here we showed transcriptomic similarities and differences between three AD animal models and EOAD and LOAD. Thank you all to collaborators involved @giovannacollar

🚨ONLINE NOW! In our new article led by @BellaverBruna and #DeBastiani published in @iScience_CP, we took advantage of comparative medicine tools to investigate molecular core similarities and differences among AD mouse models and EOAD and LOAD individuals tinyurl.com/3fj8b8tb
Amazing work by the great @jpfsouza33 !
Out now in Neurobiology of Aging!
In this new article, we demonstrated that vascular risk burden & AD pathophysiology jointly accelerate neurodegeneration and cognitive decline in CU individuals

What an amazing experience at #AAIC23! Thanks a lot for the @alzassociation @ISTAART for the opportunity to share our work from @LabPascoal 🇺🇸 & @zimmerneurolab 🇧🇷. Already excited to see you all again in Philly #AAIC24 🧠
Amazing @jpfsouza33 !
Congrats to our PhD student @jpfsouza33 for receiving the Prof. Gilberto Schwartsmann Award for publishing the best paper in 2022-23 (rdcu.be/dhOJk) among the medical students at @ufrgsnoticias! Huge team effort led by João together with @LabPascoal & @zimmerneurolab 👏
Any program would be lucky to have you!

We thank the @alzassociation and are very proud of our postdocs @gbnegrini and @SarahAbbas52 awarded with the AA Research and Clinical fellowships, respectively. They will address important gaps in tau PET harmonization and the use of inflammation biomarkers in trials. Congrats!!

What a fantastic talk by @guilhermepovala at #AIC23, where he discussed the impact of microglial activation on brain atrophy in preclinical AD. #AAIC2023 @alzassociation @ISTAART

During the coffe break don’t miss the opportunity to check the beautiful poster of @FrancieliRohden where she evaluated the association between astrocyte reactivity and synaptic distinction!! #AAIC2023 @alzassociation
Amazing work by @BellaverBruna !!
Amazing work from @jpfsouza33 ! You will shape the Alzheimer’s field, my friend!
Our latest work is out in @ScienceAdvances🚨! Using multiple PET radiotracers, we found clinical evidence that APOEε4 contributes to microglial activation in early Braak regions, which is further associated with AD progression 🧠. Link: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…
