Hang on…. Could microglia build amyloid plaques? Can’t say for sure yet, but check out what a rare disease called FBD can teach us about dementia. My first preprint with @WrayLabUCL @tammarynlashley @DervisSalih1 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Microglia produce the amyloidogenic ABri peptide in familial British dementia

Mutations in ITM2B cause familial British, Danish, Chinese and Korean dementias. In familial British dementia (FBD) a mutation in the stop codon of the ITM2B gene (also known as BRI2 ) causes a...

Willumsen et al. report that patient-derived iPSCs containing the Presenilin 1 E280G mutation display a high relative production of Abeta43, a finding matched in post-mortem tissue with the same mutation. @selinawray @WraylabUCL bit.ly/3HHbOSO

Over half of us know someone affected by dementia, but there are currently no treatments to slow, stop or cure it. But with the support of @premierinn and Restaurant’s, we will find a cure for dementia. Please share our message, vote Alzheimer’s Research UK. Thank you! 🧡
