8/ Our data demonstrate that amyloid plaques are not innocent bystanders of the disease, as has been sometimes suggested, but in fact induce a strong and coordinated response of all surrounding cell types.

9/ Further work is needed to understand whether, and when, removal of amyloid plaques—for instance by antibody therapy—would be sufficient to reverse these ongoing cellular processes.

We are looking for a postdoc to use spatial transcriptomics, in situ sequencing, and multiplexed proteomics to untangle the cellular response to #amyloid plaques and tangles in brains affected by or resilient to #Alzheimer’s disease. jobso.id/cp7x

New preprint out De Strooper lab at @CBD_VIB with @VE_ZSU from our lab on how impaired adult hippocampal neurogenesis in Alzheimer’s disease is mediated by microRNA-132 deficiency and can be restored by microRNA-132 replacement #alzheimersdisease biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Last day to submit your abstract for #BrainMosaic19: the best place to present your single-cell data in neuroscience. Exciting keynote lectures and many other excellent speakers! bit.ly/BRMO19 #VIBconf @CBD_VIB

23 Aug 2019
#BrainMosaic19 keynotes @IdoAmitLab & @slinnarsson will each kick-off a conference day, launching two full days of presentations on #CNS disease, #singlecell research, developments in technology, #spatialtransciptomics, and much more. More info > bit.ly/BRMO19 #VIBconf

Saying goodbye to Amaia and @HeatherRicePhD. You will both be missed but it will be great to see you spread your wings and set up your own labs in Spain and the US!

Heading to #AAIC19 next month? Be sure to catch UK DRI Director, Bart De Strooper's Plenary (Cellular phase of Alzheimer's disease) on Wed 17 July. Bart gives a sneak preview in this Q&A: bit.ly/2xctu4K
