Lasagna-Reeves Lab

The lab of Cristian Lasagna-Reeves, Associate Professor at @bcmhouston Investigating cellular and molecular mechanisms of AD and other tauopathies

[Lasagna-Reeves Lab @LasagnaLab]

Resilience against AD neuropathology might rely on the amyloid plaque microenvironment. Want to learn more? Check out our paper in Acta Neuropathologica! Excellent job @NurJury @pbmartinc @EChimalJ in the lab and our collabs @jungsukim77 @HandeKarahan_ https://t.co/ZhLSvfh95A

[BCM Neurology @bcmneurology]

Collaboration, innovation and discovery on display at our recent Research Symposium. 🧠

Faculty, trainees and researchers shared emerging work across the neurosciences and engaged in conversations that continue to move the field forward.

[Alzheimer's Association @alzassociation]

In 2025, Texas voters made history when they approved funding for the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT).

The Lone Star State is investing $3 billion over 10 years in dementia research, creating the largest state-funded dementia research program in the country.

Congratulations to our Texas advocates on receiving the 2026 State Policy Achievement Award! #alzforum

[The Rainwater Charitable Foundation @RCFNeuro]

At #Tau2026, we honored Rainwater Prize winners Drs. Dennis Dickson (@dennis_w_d) & Melissa Murray (@DrNeuroChic) for their contributions in combining brain banking, pathology, and imaging to enhance insights into tauopathies. https://t.co/vinXpcOODN

[Ted Abel @TedAbelneuro]

Honored to be named the first president and provost distinguished fellow at Iowa and to continue as the Roy J. Carver Director of the Iowa Neuroscience Institute @UIowaNeuro Looking forward to continuing to build our creative, collaborative community @uiowa

[Alzheimer's Association @alzassociation]

Discover our exceptional lineup of #AAIC26 plenary speakers. We’re honored to have these experts in the field share their work with the global dementia science community. Read more about their presentations and register today: https://t.co/jdq5rLZXlI

[Celeste Karch @karchlab]

Excited to share new work led by Sam Swift in the lab identifying NINL as a modifier of tau seeding https://t.co/BLd84B9KRY

[Celeste Karch @karchlab]

Pleased to share our latest study using super resolution to show that a pathogenic Tau mutation drives autophagy-lysosome dysfunction that limits Tau degradation in a model of frontotemporal dementia by the amazing Dr Mirfakhar 🔬🧫 https://t.co/iGcLqo3zq6

[The Rainwater Charitable Foundation @RCFNeuro]

🎧 Listen to this episode of the Alzheimer’s Breakthrough podcast as 2026 Rainwater Prize winner Dr. Melissa Murray (@DrNeuroChic) explains how earlier detection and brain donation are advancing more targeted approaches to neurodegenerative disease. https://t.co/1RRcble2wX

[HHMI @hhmi_science]

Celebrating #HHMIInvestigator Huda Zoghbi, recognized by the Lurie Autism Institute for her ground-breaking discovery that mutations in the MECP2 gene cause Rett syndrome — work that continues to transform autism research today: https://t.co/N4d6z11tJN.

[CCAD @The_CCAD]

Another year, another photo on the steps at The Charleston Place.The 2026 CCAD cohort is officially alumni! We are grateful for this ever-growing community of #CCADAlumni.

[Gan Lab @LiGanLab]

Excited to share our preprint showing cGAS mediates innate immune activity in TDP-43 proteinopathy. Pharmacological inhibition of cGAS restores microglial function, corrects RNA mis-splicing, & protects motor neurons across human iPSC & mouse models of ALS https://t.co/NESXtyJsWK

[Lasagna-Reeves Lab @LasagnaLab]

New work from our lab reveals that the microenvironment around amyloid is not uniform in AD/CAA. Using spatial transcriptomics, we show that vascular vs parenchymal Aβ deposits drive distinct molecular responses. @BCMFromtheLabs @bcmneurology @EChimalJ
