Out today in Trends in Neuroscience - a new review by our group about heterogeneity in Alzheimer's disease authors.elsevier.com/a/1gryv_3nuo00…

Congratulations to the team and especially to first author Hyo Lee, PhD on this recent publication in Cell Reports! sciencedirect.com/.../pii/S22111…...

We are happy to share our most recent work "INPP5D regulates inflammasome activation in human microglia" - the full article can be found here: rdcu.be/dsgo4

It was mentorship at first sight! Hear how Joon-Hyuk Lee, Stecia-Marie P Fletcher and Gizem Terzioğlu first connected with their mentors and found a home at Brigham and Women's Hospital. #MentorMonth #BrighamMentors

Contributions of genetic variation in astrocytes to cell and molecular mechanisms of risk and resilience to late onset Alzheimer's ... biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

It's been 6 years that we developed our iAs protocol Henrik Ahlenius and it is really rewarding to see it being used in such an amazing work!

New TYP lab preprint alert! Our previous PhD student Hyo Lee (& amazing collaborators) profile iPSC-derived astrocytes from 44 ROSMAP individuals and compare to brain data from the same people! You can find all the cool findings here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

And since it's #FluorescenceFriday we'd love to share a beautiful image of iPSC-derived astrocytes featured in our new preprint (Green = GFAP, Red = S100B, Blue = DAPI)! Image credit: talented PhD student Alex Lish 😎

Congratulations to Tracy for receiving the 2024 Zenith Fellows Award by Alzheimer's Association! #ALZfunded

It's #FluorescenceFriday! Here's a beautiful image of an iPSC-derived astrocye from our very own Gwen Orme! Green = S100B, Purple = CD44, Blue = DAPI

This year we're excited to be participating in the 2024 Maine Marathon Relay race in support of the Josephine and John Marr Alzheimer's Research Fund. The post-docs are racing the graduate students! Stay tuned to see who wins... events.brighamandwomens.org/site/TR/Events…

At the end of this month Tracy will be presenting at the 2024 NIH Alzheimer's Research Summit, along with many of our collaborators! You can find the information here, including free online streaming: nia.nih.gov/2024-alzheimer…

Congratulations Tracy for being selected for the Harvard BBS Graduate Program Mentoring Award, and thank you to our BBS PhD students for the nomination!

Had a great time this past weekend presenting a poster with Olivia Pembridge at the BBS at Harvard retreat!! A great weekend with lots of friends, fun, and (some) science!! Also congratulations to Tracy (Young-Pearse Lab) for winning this year's BBS mentorship award!
