Barely the size of a small battery, this cylinder seal from ancient Mesopotamia shows the healing goddess Gula on a chair with her trusted dog below.

She holds a scalpel in one hand, and above her are the Pleiades (the seven dots). Imagine the skill needed to carve this tiny scene.

What a morning! Presenting the results of the study on the correlation between genetic risk variants for AD and PD and neuropathological findings of 831 patients from the Neurological Tissue Bank of @hospitalclinic.bsky.social @idibaps.bsky.social in collaboration #univmiami, at the #ADPDMeeting.

The 17q21.31 region, with its H1/H2 haplotypes and three large CNVs, is the strongest PSP risk locus. In this collaboration led by Wan-Ping Lee at UPENN. We found that increased γ copies are associated with higher PSP risk and altered gene expression.
