We just published our first paper! Hopp lab PhD candidate Jess Wickline discovered that the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker isradipine can reduce dystrophic neurites near amyloid plaques in 5xFAD mice 1/7 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36740015/









In people w/ Alzheimer's, blood vessels are tortuous and irregular just like what we reported in tau models in 2018. In our new work, we show that there's a lot more perivascular tau than previously thought. Read about clear brains + vascular tau here: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Hey Dr. Marie McNeely I had so much fun speaking with you for this People Behind the Science episode. Thanks for the opportunity to reflect on life in science and speak about some of my favorite things.
