PSP is a rare & devastating neurodegenerative disease with no effective treatments.
Now, scientists led by @TSpiresJones & Dr Claire Durrant have shown that tau spreads via synapses in PSP, providing a target that could lead to future therapeutics👉 https://t.co/14Z9nLdeGO
Our new paper showing synaptic gene expression changes in frontotemporal dementia due to the MAPT 10 + 16 mutation is out now in Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology - well done team!! https://t.co/iogJwJoKOh
Huge THANK YOU to the Herschel Programme for delivering the Women in Technical Leadership course over the last 6 months, it was truly outstanding - I met the most awesome, inspiring women and learnt so many valuable skills to take with me! 🌟
#HerschelLeaders#ALS28areGreat
A warm welcome at the #HerschelLeaders event from Claire Devey, @kellyvere this morning.
We're celebrating nearly 200 technical professionals who have completed the 6-month technical leadership programme from 54 institutions, and our very first international delegate ✨
Scottish Dementia Working Group @ S_D_W_G and National Dementia Carers Action Network @NDCAN_Scotland members share their experiences of visiting the Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences at Edinburgh University @EdinUniMedicine

@ruskin147 This is lovely, so well done to you all. Look how much she is taking in, so many things happening in her new world. I bet she is zonked out after her adventures.
Check out our latest preprint from the brilliant @Rob_McGeachan co-led with my science buddy @ClaireDurrant1 Evidence for trans-synaptic spread of tau in PSP and live human brain slices! #TeamTau

@deehanelain @S_D_W_G @TSpiresJones@EdinburghUni @alzscot @NDCAN_Scotland Thank you so much @deehanelain I will pass on your kind words, really lovely to meet you today.
@S_D_W_G @TSpiresJones@EdinburghUni @alzscot @NDCAN_Scotland It was our pleasure, we loved showing you around the lab and telling you all about what we do. Thanks so much for visiting.
Yay our latest paper is out! TMEM97 and abeta are close enough to generate a FRET signal in human synapses. Led by amazing Dr Marti Colom-Cadena and a great collaboration with colleagues @CogRx https://t.co/0J44IPSkwD
