Great to be in Toronto for the Second AG meeting for @tridentpct.bsky.social where our 🐁 molecular and cognition core will show what we are up to in the last 2 years facilitated by @touchscreencog.bsky.social and we will continue to learn about our organoid and marmoset models.

#fluorescencefriday shows the intimate relationship between astrocytes, (cyan) microglia (green) and amyloid plaques (magenta). we find that in APOE4 mice there is much more glia associated with plaques.

On #worldalzheimersday our team
is thrilled with our efforts to understand how amyloid (magenta) interacts with blood vessels (green) and how better 🐁 models and translational approaches will help the fight to #endalz

And 🙏 @alzassociation.bsky.social for the support
