Hang on…. Could microglia build amyloid plaques? Can’t say for sure yet, but check out what a rare disease called FBD can teach us about dementia. My first preprint with @WrayLabUCL @tammarynlashley @DervisSalih1 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Microglia produce the amyloidogenic ABri peptide in familial British dementia

Microglia produce the amyloidogenic ABri peptide in familial British dementia

Mutations in ITM2B cause familial British, Danish, Chinese and Korean dementias. In familial British dementia (FBD) a mutation in the stop codon of the ITM2B gene (also known as BRI2 ) causes a...

Our next #ARUKImageOfTheWeek captures stem cells in the process of turning into new-born nerve cells! @celarber works in the @WraylabUCL to investigate how nerve cells in the brain work and what happens to them in diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Willumsen et al. report that patient-derived iPSCs containing the Presenilin 1 E280G mutation display a high relative production of Abeta43, a finding matched in post-mortem tissue with the same mutation. @selinawray @WraylabUCL bit.ly/3HHbOSO
