Very excited to see our manuscript on the Neurolipid Atlas online @S_Koppes_Hertog @vanderkantLab @Martingiera! Big thanks to all collaborators! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… neurolipidatlas.nl A thread:

Lipid changes in the brain have been implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. To facilitate comparative...

Notably, cholesterol metabolism directly impacted the reactive response in our human astrocyte model. Our results suggest that immune activation might be essential to counter AD at early stages and is perturbed by ApoE4’s effect on cholesterol metabolism.

Overall, our data emphasize the crucial role of lipid metabolism in AD. The Neurolipid Atlas offers a valuable resource currently containing 50 datasets covering four neurodegenerative diseases. We invite other labs to contribute and grow this neurolipidomics resource! 🌐📊

Waarom is het zo lastig om een geneesmiddel voor Alzheimer te vinden?

Ondanks dat er al decennialang onderzoek wordt gedaan naar Alzheimer is er nog altijd geen medicijn in de maak - laat staan op de markt - dat

My first ever mouse brain staining made it to the cover! In this study we find an atypical staged cell death pathway in neurons upon depletion of SNARE proteins Munc18-1 and syntaxin-1. jneurosci.org/content/43/3
