My face this morning at #IDCS when Dr @MaluTansey presented data showing that TNF levels start increasing around 30 years and I remembered I am 30, ahahahahahah! Suuuch an amazing talk! Thaaaank you! The take home message for us students: Choose your mentor wisely!

No Figure Legend needed! 😎 Looking forward to our next IDCS series on ‘Tau’!

Cryo-EM structure of Alzheimer disease tau filaments with PET ligand MK-6240 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

MK-6240 is a PET imaging agent that can discern subtle early-stage Alzheimer's brain changes. How does it interact with Alzheimer's tau filaments at a high-resolution molecular level? 🔬⚡Read on and check out our bioRxiv article:

This is an absolute BEAST of a paper from one of the most rigorous scientists I know Jaime Vaquer-Alicea …really elevates past work on tau biosensors to another level: the power of simple cell models in action!
