Spearheaded by postdoc Gema Lorden, and benefiting from many collaborations, our work showing that a #Alzheimer-disease associated mutation in PKCa causes cognitive decline in a mouse model is out - see🧵

Congratulations @Gsabiolab on organizing the @SEBBM_es meeting in this beautiful venue - wonderful meeting showcasing great science and giving opportunities for trainees.

[Guadalupe Sabio @Gsabiolab]

Amazing @iubmb conference in @SEBBM_es about PKC. So grateful to have AlexandraNewton in Cáceres.

[Newton Lab @NewtonLab]

Thank you for invitation @SEBBM_es and congratulations to @Gsabiolab and colleagues for organizing and fantastic science in beautiful Cáceres -

@iubmb Excelente ponencia de Alexandra Newton sobre la importancia de PKC en la salud y el envejecimiento. Muchas gracias @iubmb #47congresoSEBBM

[SEBBM @SEBBM_es]

¿Conoces ya a todos nuestros ponentes de charlas plenarias? En nuestro #47congresosebbm tendremos la oportunidad de disfrutar de la ponencia de nuestra premiada @iubmb Alexandra Newton

First author Celeste Gauron visited our lab on an @iubmb Wood Whelan Fellowship during her PhD studies, Un Mendoza 🇦🇷, to learn about PKC. She returned to do her postdoctoral studies in our lab, which culminated in this collaborative study with @RudyTanzi on PKCeta in Alzheimer’s

[Science Signaling @scisignal]

Performing a genome-wide analysis of families afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease, a team identifies a mutant form of the kinase PKC-eta that’s mislocalized at the Golgi apparatus and starkly disrupts the behavior of cells. @RudyTanzi @NewtonLab @UCSDPharm https://t.co/EFxKkY4n76

The new issue of #ScienceSignaling has arrived! An experimental drug for Parkinson’s disease can reverse the condition’s hallmark effects on neurons in mice, researchers connect a mutant kinase to familial Alzheimer’s disease, and more. https://t.co/46VAbEKoi6

[UC San Diego School of Medicine @UCSDMedSchool]

The @NewtonLab and Harvard’s @RudyTanzi and colleagues have found a new target in Alzheimer’s disease: PKCη.

🗞️ Read more on how PKCη offers new hope for the development of therapies to restore normal function ➡️ https://t.co/QJK31iJh0C

@iubmb Thank you!

[IUBMB @iubmb]

Happy Birthday to our Past President - Alexandra Newton!

[rylnt.bsky.social @ry_lnt]

Happy birthday @NewtonLab! Thank you for your endless support for biochemistry and molecular biology trainees from all over the world! 💗

[Newton Lab @NewtonLab]

@ry_lnt Thank you Ryan!

[Newton Lab @NewtonLab]

Thank you for the birthday 🎂 and singing and other joyful shenanigans Newton Lab! Here’s to many more years of trying to understand #PKC

It is with great sadness that we share the news that IUBMB Past President Prof Joan Guinovart @IRBBarcelona passed away today. A brilliant biochemist and educator, his dedication, commitment, and leadership spanning two decades had an enormous impact on the IUBMB mission.

[Newton Lab @NewtonLab]

First met Joan Guinovart at IUBMB conf in 2016. In 2018, he became my forever mentor and friend when he became Past President and I became President Elect of @IUBMB. Always a true scholar, often texting me in Greek, with a great sense of humour, he enriched the lives of so many.

[CSMB @CSMB_SCBM]

Congratulations Alexandra Newton the IUBMB EC Slater Lecture. PKC is truly fascinating.

[ArraianoLab @ArraianoLab]

It was always a joy being with you! In picture below Alexandra Newton @NewtonLab , President of @iubmb, myself, Juan Guinovar and Rosa Guinovar. We were so happy in Milano last July 2024, attending the FEBS @FEBSnews Congress. I can not believe I can not be with you in 2025!

[Newton Lab @NewtonLab]

@iubmb @IRBBarcelona So privileged to have worked with Joan Guinovart @IUBMB. My mentor and friend forever. Brilliant, funny, and compassionate.

[Newton Lab @NewtonLab]

Happy Holidays from our lab to yours. Lab photo after @UCSDPharm holiday party.
