Perhaps the geneticists were more open minded 😅
From what I’ve read, in the early days after his discovery he was ostracized for his finding, and unable to garner adequate funding for quite some time - due to the controversy and divergence from amyloid focus.
Happy 32nd Birthday to ApoE in Dementia research🎈
On this day in 1993, Dr. Allen D. Roses (et al.) published that the presence of APOE4 genotype reliably predicts risk of early onset Alzheimer’s disease. Needless to say the AD research community was skeptical.
It was a pleasure to visit St Andrews to deliver a TEDx talk! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJME...
That’s a wrap on Neuroscience Day! 🥳
Next up: Audrey Chagnot from @ukdri.ac.uk Montagne Lab: ‘From Decline to Resilience: New Perspectives on the Roles of Pericytes at the Blood-Brain Barrier’ 🧠🧠🧠
Curious about how the brain might adapt to neurodegeneration? Come hear me talk about gold, guns and brain cells at @pintofscience.uk in Edinburgh! 🧠🍻 #pint25
Hot off the press!!
Did you know that #neuronal #processes arrange perpendicular to #vascular direction around #penetratingarterioles and arterial end #capillaries? 🤔 I have speculated that this may enhance #neurovascularcoupling. Here I show examples in the #human #brain. 🧠 vb.bioscientifica.com/view/journal...
Since everyone else is doing it… Here’s a starter pack for researchers studying the most interesting allele in AD. go.bsky.app/PDtaUP6 Let me know if you want to be added (doesn’t have to be the sole focus of your research). Also, it turns out a lot of my favorite APOE4 folks aren’t on bluesky yet.
Hi! I would love to be added 😊
Is it too soon for the jumper? ❄️
For my first post, an invitation to join us in Miami! A lot of thing on ApoE and lipids are moving fast, catch up!
Abstract submission is now open!
Someone had to do it! I created a starter pack for #Alzheimer’s #dementia #ADRD researchers on Bluesky. Please let me know who I left out! Hoping more and more of us will join Bluesky

UKDRI Starter Pack 🧠 (in progress)
Let me know and I can add you to the list (DM if you don’t want to comment) and also let me know if there are others I have missed

Would love to be added as well please 😊
🧠 barriers & neurovasculature starter pack - please reply here if you are not on it yet & would like to be added 😊 go.bsky.app/RB6RXKy
Thank you!
This is so handy! 😊
