ApoE isoform– and microbiota-dependent progression of neurodegeneration in a mouse model of tauopathy science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… A delayed tweet. Congrats to Dong-oh Seo and all our great collaborators in this interesting and comprehensive work.

Great work by Maud Gratuze and collaborators showing the importance of APOE4 and TREM2 in microglial lipid accumulation and gene expression in tauopathy. TREM2-independent microgliosis promotes tau-mediated neurodegeneration in the presence of ApoE4 cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

Interesting and surprising results from Nimansha Jain, WashU MSTP, on TREM activating antibody increasing Abeta induced tau seeding and spreading. Chronic TREM2 activation exacerbates Aβ-associated tau seeding and spreading rupress.org/jem/article-abst…

APOE antibody inhibits Aβ‐associated tau seeding and spreading in a mouse model onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… New data from Maud Gratuze and Hong Jiang of the effect of targeting apoE in plaques to strongly inhibit Abeta induced tau seeding/spreading

Congrats to Tom Mahan, Chao Wang and colleagues showing the effect of astrocyte ApoE3 and E4 removal on amyloid and other phenotypes. molecularneurodegeneration.b…

We are now ranked No. 1 in @NIH funding among all Neurology departments! Congratulations and thank you to all of our faculty, staff and research participants who made this ranking possible.

Great to be able to have a lab holiday party again!

Congrats to Celeste Karch @karchlab on the Rainwater prize!

Congrats to Yang Shi and colleagues showing strong protective effects of overexpressing LDLR in brain to tau-linked injury. Overexpressing low-density lipoprotein receptor reduces tau-associated neurodegeneration in relation to apoE-linked mechanisms cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…
