We would love you to join us at our drop-in event this Sunday! The research team will be there to discuss all things brain health, Down's syndrome and the science behind our research, with lots of fun activities and games. All are welcome! @Cambridge_Uni #UniversityOfCambridge
New research in mice shows that an early sign of #Alzheimers is a metabolic increase in the brain’s hippocampus 🧠 neurosciencenews.com/hippocampal-me…
Excited to be sending out our autumn newsletter very soon 🍂 we have lots of news and updates for you! And as always if you know anyone with #Downsyndrome who would like to participate in one of our studies please do share it with them or get in touch 🙏
"A number of studies have found that people receiving vaccinations for flu and several other infectious diseases appear less likely than the unvaccinated to develop dementia, although scientists aren’t sure why." 💉🧠 washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/…
Exciting to share our new study in BioRxiv. Deleting DAP12 in tau mice curbs brain inflammation, ameliorates myelin, abolishes tau-induced oligodendrocytes, uncovering a novel resilience mechanism via microglial interaction with oligodendrocyte. doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…
"Female health has been historically understudied, with grave consequences for their wellbeing and health equity" Important new study looking at the role of sex steroids, particularly oestradiol, on the female brain #Alzheimers #Depression thelancet.com/journals/landi…
