Alzheimer’s disease is heterogeneous with multiple subtypes. Gawor et al. argue that clinical subtyping best supports care, whereas biologically based subtypes - capturing molecular signatures & co-pathologies - are better suited to guiding treatment. https://t.co/L55rSTeFj1

Good news! My article received enough views to be a Top Viewed Article. Read it here https://t.co/dvs64inhTV #TopViewedArticle @wileyinresearch

Gawor et al. report that Alzheimer’s cases with amygdala-predominant α-synuclein pathology show more severe hippocampal damage, higher TDP-43 burden, and interactions with tau. Please read at: https://t.co/cC43IQIj8u @neuropatho_lab, @KlaraGawor, @sandraneuropath #Alzheimers

New research from our lab (@Greg_Walkiew): Retinal Tau in TAU58 mice worsens with age, leading to ganglion cell loss. AD brain lysates accelerate retinal Tau, spreading to the brain and triggering neuroinflammation. A key role of retina in #Alzheimer’s 👁️

📢 Excited to announce the publication of my recent paper in Acta Neuropathologica Communications with #SpringerNature!

Our study explores the link between #tau -related #neurodegeneration in the #retina and its implications for #Alzheimersdisease

[Klara Gawor @KlaraGawor]

Our recent paper on the importance of alpha-synuclein pathology in #Alzheimer’s disease is out! We explore its two distinct spreading patterns and their implications for hippocampal damage.

You can now join our new LATE @ISTAART PIA! 🧠

https://t.co/lQ3Ny5VJV8

With this PIA, we want to raise awareness of this dementia-driving pathology, foster collaborations, and ultimately improve TDP-43 targeting therapies.
Stay tuned!

🎓 I’ve completed my PhD at KU Leuven in the Neuropathology Lab, studying the link between Alzheimer's disease 🧠 and the eye 👁️. Now seeking a postdoc position to continue exploring neurodegeneration.

This weekend, our lab proudly participated in Day of Science! We hosted a lecture, guided visitors through our lab, and shared fascinating insights about the brain and neurodegenerative diseases at our stand.

It was inspiring to connect with so many curious minds! #DVDW2024

[Sandra O. Tomé @sandraneuropath]

Fresh paper alert! 🧠🔬This study sought to characterize pure LATE-NC using data from 32 ADRCs. Importantly, it suggests that pure LATE-NC occurs in about 5% of the elderly population, and is usually associated with #dementia.

Could combining treatments that target aggregates and cell loss in #Alzheimers be the future?

[Neuropathology Lab @neuropatho_lab]

Neuronal death can be halted by inhibiting necroptosis in #Alzheimer’s mouse models! 🧠 Exciting new findings from our lab by @SebastiaanMoon1 and @KoperMarta, just published in @ScienceTM.

Last Saturday, we hosted another fantastic workshop at Kinderuniversiteit in Leuven! The Ultimate Kids Brain Challenge was full with puzzles, questions, games, and creative tasks. Great team, great fun! Huge thanks to Helena, Bas, Bas, and Colin! #Teamwork #Kinderuniversiteit

Our representation at #BrainMosaic24, showcasing the heterogeneity of protein aggregates in #Alzheimers.

Great talks and cutting-edge techniques inspiring future progress in understanding the brain. Thanks @VIBConferences!
