Out now. A collaboration with Sofia Lövestam, Masato Hasegawa and Sjors Scheres. We report that tau filaments extracted from the brains of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and corticobasal degeneration breed true in the brains of wild-type mice. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Dimerisation of the Lewy fold with a left-handed helical twist in the absence of peptide-like island A may be the gain-of-toxic function mechanism that causes disease in dominantly inherited cases of Parkinson's disease and dementia.

"I was the worst out of 250."
Not even Nobel Prize laureates get straight A's.
Hear 2012 medicine laureate John Gurdon speak about being a non-intellectual and having a teacher that thought it was "ridiculous" that Gurdon thought about becoming a scientist.
Developmental biologist Gurdon received the medicine prize “for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent.”

It is with great sadness that we announce the recent death of award-winning researcher and colleague Prof Eleanor Maguire. Prof. Maguire was a cognitive neuroscientist at @UCLIoN for more than 30 years.

⚫ Alain Delon est mort, annoncent ses enfants. Figure tutélaire du cinéma, symbole d’une masculinité ombrageuse, l’acteur au charisme fou a enchaîné les chefs-d’œuvre. Il avait 88 ans. liberation.fr/culture/cinema…
FTDP-17 mutations P301L and P301T in MAPT give rise to novel tau filament folds. Individuals with mutations of P301 have distinct tauopathies. Great work: @MSchweighauser, @sy31802, Alexey Murzin. As always with @SjorsScheres.

Did you know that #microglia establish connections with neurons using tunneling nanotubes (TNTs)? 🧠
Drs. Scheiblich, Heneka, and co. demonstrate that microglia use TNTs to extract neurons from toxic aggregates, restoring neuronal health. @NeuroCellPress

🚨🇺🇸NEW FOOTAGE SHOWS TRUMP DODGED PERFECTLY AIMED SHOT
Close-up footage reveals Thomas Crooks' shot was perfectly centered on Trump's head.
Trump’s 'head tilt' to look at a screen graphic and leaning into the microphone saved his life.
The footage was captured just seconds before the shot.

In a first, scientists isolated heteromeric amyloid filaments from the brain. TDP-43 and Annexin A11 team up to form filaments in a type of frontotemporal lobar degeneration. @MRC_LMB @Penn ow.ly/WwYJ50Sw8ar
