Massively improving Monday morning back from holiday to find our paper published! doi.org/10.1042/NS20230016 Here we show the contributions of NEP and IDE in degrading Aβ in human neurons Huge thank-you to those involved in this work! @HooperLabManc

Inhibition of insulin-degrading enzyme in human neurons promotes amyloid-β deposition

Abstract. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterised by the aggregation and deposition of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in the human brain. In age-related late-onset AD, deficient degradation and clearance,...

Pre-print alert! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… iPSC-Astrocyte morphology reflects patient clinical markers Excited to share our work showing iPSC-astrocytes not only model general aspects of disease pathogenesis, but also reflect patient-specific clinical markers.

iPSC-Astrocyte morphology reflects patient clinical markers

Human iPSCs provide powerful cellular models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and offer many advantages over non-human models, including the potential to reflect variation in individual-specific pathoph...

This study shows the potential of our approach to use iPSC-derived astrocytes, image analysis and AI to stratify AD patients. Very grateful to everyone who has contributed to this work!

Representing @WadeMartinsLab and @KavliOxford at #ADPD2023 :D Come by poster booth 957 if you want to hear about how I’m using iPSC neurons to examine selective vulnerability in AD and PD. Will be around during lunch today :)

Hello Göteborg! Enjoying some really interesting talks and posters so far, and later sharing some of our work on changes in astrocyte morphology and how this reflects AD patient clinical measures! #ADPD2023
