Exciting news! Our findings on the Lumipulse #pTau217 assay were featured in @theheraldsun and @dailytelegraph. In this interview, Prof. Christopher Rowe explains the difference this blood test could make for #Alzheimers diagnosis.

Pleased to present our paper @eBioMedicine, on the Lumipulse plasma pTau217 assay.

Lumipulse-G platform → large global installation base in clinical pathology services → better access/uptake of plasma #ptau217 into clinical practice.

#ICYMI

Professor Chris Rowe, Clinical Lead in the Florey's Dementia Mission, spoke to @7NewsMelbourne about the efficacy of a potential new blood test that can detect early signs of Alzheimer's.

In collaboration with @Austin_Health @ADNeT_Australia

🔥 Hot off the press: our new article on VMAT2 PET as a sensitive tool to detect and quantify Parkinson’s disease (PD) progression over two years.🧠
This is a breakthrough discovery with implications for PD diagnostics and clinical trials.

Key findings:
-Basal forebrain atrophy is associated with Aβ and cognitive impairment.
-Ch4p is more vulnerable to AD pathology than other subregions.
-The cholinergic system may be a potential target for AD early intervention

[Rowe Lab @RoweLab_aus]

Check out the paper by our collaborator, @YingXia87, on changes in basal forebrain in normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease.

🧠 How does the basal forebrain change in normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease? 🧠

Check out our new paper that reveals the patterns of volume loss in the cholinergic system over 14 years in 516 old adults from AIBL.
