Terrific collaboration led by Hilliard Lab. Queensland Brain Institute, UQ, Fred Meunier, MQ Dementia Research Centre,UQ Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences, University of Helsinki

Great paper from the Zuryn lab!

Exciting discovery from the Pocock Lab! Very cool.

An exciting study from Tara Walker's Lab Queensland Brain Institute, UQ UQ News that reports the effects of platelet factor 4 in enhancing neurogenesis and cognition in aged mice is now out. Congrats Odette and Tara! Glad we could make a small contribution to this study. nature.com/articles/s4146…

This kids are adorable!

A study by researchers at #UQ's Queensland Brain Institute, UQ has challenged the conventional notion in Alzheimer’s disease research that targeting and clearing amyloid plaque is essential to improve cognition 🧠 🔗brnw.ch/21wIpO0 #DrGerhardLeinenga Juergen Goetz

Researchers have discovered a novel mechanism underlying memory involving rapid changes in a specific DNA structure.🧬 The team found that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) influences the activation and repression of genes crucial for long-term memory. bit.ly/3xBfuUO @TWBredy
