Looking forward to this Biochemical Society!

10th anniversary edition of the CCP-EM Spring Symposium is open for registration! Includes the DLS BCI user meeting from our friends Diamond Light Source . For more info... ccpem.ac.uk/training/sprin…

We’re excited to continue our video series taking you behind the scenes of our fantastic scientific facilities!
Today, meet the LMB’s Electron Microscopy Team and hear about some of the exciting projects they’ve been working on.

Really excited about our latest preprint, where we uncovered a neuroprotective role for neuronal polyunsaturated fatty acids in FTD and ALS. Led by Ashling Giblin and Alex Cammack biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… 1/9

Last year saw a first for the #alzhemers field—traditional FDA approval for a disease-modifying therapy, lecanemab. This energized the field, making 2023 a great year for basic research, too. Read Alzforum’s research highlights from the last 12 months. ow.ly/wIyZ50QrMeB

Like CTE and SSPE, ALS/PDC has also the CTE tau fold. With special thanks to Chao Qi, Bert M. Verheijen, Yasumasa Kokubo and Yang Shi. As always, with Sjors Scheres.

Sought FUS, Found TAF—A New Fibril in Frontotemporal Dementia | Alzforum

alzforum.org/news/research-…

Fascinating insights - and surprises - in FTLD-FUS, or TAF15-opathy as we perhaps should now call it. All donors with bvFTD (+/-MND) and without known FTD-associated mutations
A powerful reminder of the continued value of Brain Banks; and generosity of donors and their families

We have an open PhD position about generating a human #iPSC derived brain tissue model of Frontotemporal dementia #FTD with GRN mutations, fully funded by Alzheimer's Association, in close collaboration with Haass lab . Please apply via email and join us! Please RT - thanks!

Join us! We have an open #postdoc position to study the formation of #amyloid filaments in #neurodegenerative diseases using #cryoEM 🧠❄️ MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology.
Email/DM inquiries welcome & please RT!
