For three years, my partner has been venting the same dinner-table monologue:

"I can't find the anti-pTau again."
"Someone aliquoted the GFAP and didn't write it down."
"I think we have four tubes of the same antibody in four different freezers."

She's a neuroscientist. I'm a builder. Eventually, I did something about it.

Happy to interrupt your election feed, to share our own findings. In an effort guided by @sophiejccaron and @JasonSynaptic we have made some interesting findings. Come and check it out.

@JasonSynaptic @cziscience @MitaliTyagi2 Awesome to see this out! Congrats @MitaliTyagi2 and the rest of the team! 🥳

[Jungsu Kim @jungsukim77]

I think this should have been published in @NatureMedicine
Good catch for @alzdemjournals😍

@JamesWHalpin Well done

[Blake Highet @HighetBlake]

@DaniBeckman 🤯Is this FISH or IHC? Regardless, could you provide a no primary control or scrambled ISH probe control?

[Helen Murray, PhD @hcmurray6]

Our paper exploring the antibody labelling signature of neurofibrillary tangle maturity in Alzheimer's disease is out now in @alzdemjournals.

@JamieManning_ Congratulations Jamie!

[Paul Greer @Greer_Lab]

I'm delighted to share the latest work from our lab in which @HaoChingJiang1 and SungJin Park demonstrate that MS4A1/CD20 functions as a mammalian odorant receptor in a previously uncharacterized population of sensory neurons.

Since our lab tech Alyson is moving on to grad school (🎉), we are in need of a new tech. We are especially interested in folks who have tissue culture experience as the duties will be to generate primary rodent neurons. Please RT and DM me if interested. https://t.co/yP3dHlltUa
