We investigated markers of microglial and astrocyte reactivity, different tau species, ubiquitination, neurofilaments, neurons and blood vessels in lesion and non-lesion areas of frontal cortex from CTE cases.

Congratulations to Meagan Chamberlain for winning 🎉 the Light Microscopy category prize for her image showing different types of tau in the Alzheimer's disease hippocampus. This image is from Meagan's masters project exploring the composition of tau tangles in AD and frontotemporal dementia.
