Honour everything, accept nothing - a key message in a captivating presentation to Burnet staff and students from Dr Leslie Norins, CEO of Alzheimer's Germ Quest, and one of the last post-docs to be personally supervised by Sir Macfarlane Burnet #AlzheimersDisease #alzgerm

This is great research!

[@UCFAudit @UCFAudit]

The UCF researchers are now working to develop immune cells that could deliver matriptase directly to the brain. That treatment could potentially prevent Alzheimer’s and also improve brain function of patients with the disease

How long you’ve had brain amyloid better predicts cognitive decline and tau pathology than whether you have it. The “chronicity” concept could help scientists better target #Alzheimer’s treatments. https://t.co/S8tMwWWKmj
