I am thrilled to see Greg Miner and team’s work on the role of PLIN5-FATP4 membrane contact sites in #LipidDroplet to #Mitochondria fatty acid transport published today in Developmental Cell: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hCz%7E5Sx5g… 1/5

Check out our preprint on bioRxiv Todd Cohen Sheryl S Moy KathrynMHarper Sleep disruption precedes forebrain synaptic Tau burden and contributes to cognitive decline in a sex-dependent manner in the P301S Tau transgenic mouse model biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What do we find? 1. The onset of sleep disruption occurs early in AD and is a precursor for cognitive decline 2. Sleep disruption is independent of synaptic tau pathology 3. Synaptic and behavioral response to sleep disruption differs in males and females

This week on social media, researchers discussed research on sensory issues in fragile X mice. That and more in this week's Community Newsletter. bit.ly/3OC6IMh

Thrilled to have reached a landmark moment for the Cohen Lab: first PhD student defended! Congratulations Dr. Windham @ia_windham!

Delighted to share an article showcasing our investigators and our research linking sleep and Alzheimer's disease on FUTURUMCareers! (Beginning at page 56) Diering Lab

At the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the US, Dr Graham Diering and Dr Shenée Martin are looking at the #biomolecular and #neurological changes that happen when our #sleep is disrupted, and whether this could be a trigger for the development of #Alzheimer’s.

Thanks to Cohen lab and Diering_Lab for a great joint lab retreat yesterday! We did a The Night Science Podcast workshop on the creative process in science, followed by a picnic and paddle boarding at Jordan lake

Sleep is essential for the development of the infant brain. A new study led by researchers at Cell Biology and Physiology at UNC, shows how sleep loss impacts brain development and may play a role in increasing one's risk of developing #Autism spectrum disorder. ow.ly/8b4w50TRZRw
