My latest research, now out @PLOSBiology! We show it's not just neurons that produce Aβ in Alzheimer's, oligodendrocytes produce Aβ too! Suppressing oligo Aβ in mice rescues neuronal dysfunction, hinting at new treatment avenues. A summary thread… 1/12 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

♻️ RETWEET if you think that Clinically Vulnerable people (those at the most risk from Covid) were economically impacted by the pandemic. ♻️ The @covidinquiryuk rejected us for this module, leaving us with * NO VOICE * !!!! 1/

Here's the conundrum: Most people won't stand up for people with Long Covid until they understand it. And most people don't understand Long Covid until they have it. And once you have Long Covid, you can't stand up and fight any more.

Delighted to see our recent paper on the role of oligodendrocytes in Alzheimer’s disease highlighted in @Alzforum! Also great to see consistent results across multiple research labs. Could stopping Abeta production in oligodendrocytes alone delay disease progression?

Oligodendrocytes may contribute up to a third of amyloid plaque, and they release soluble A42 that triggers neuronal hyperactivity. #alzheimersdisease @mpi_nat @ucl @uconnhealth ow.ly/jlvC50TEwEM

One afternoon, Dr @marcaurelbusche & his team @UKDRI discovered something unexpected - oligodendrocytes not just neurons produce amyloid beta, a finding which has promise for future Alzheimer's disease treatments ➡️ bit.ly/4cZWhes #UCLDementia #WorldAlzheimersMonth

Important discovery: Multiple sclerosis patients exhibit reduced amyloid-beta accumulation, which is a key pathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease. I wonder if this could be explained by the loss of oligodendrocytes, which we recently found can produce and release…

Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis find that Alzheimer's disease is rare in people with multiple sclerosis with a "rate of amyloid-β plasma biomarker positivity...approximately half the rate in 300 non-MS controls." onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

Today in @PLOSBiology, we reveal that in #Alzheimers, not only neurons but also oligodendrocytes produce #Abeta. Targeting #Abeta production in oligodendrocytes alone can rescue early neuronal dysfunction. Read the paper here: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

It has been widely accepted that amyloid-beta (Aβ) of Alzheimer's disease comes exclusively from neurons. Challenging that dogma is this new finding about the role of oligodendrocyte support cells journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar… @PLOSBiology @marcaurelbusche @RikeshRajani @UKDRI
