Impressive talk Tara!! @tspiresjones.bsky.social Wish I could record the audible “wow”s around me when you showed the 3D EM reconstructions. Synapses and all its’ beauty!

Delighted to share our paper examining synaptic tau in PSP. Many thanks to @robertmcgeachan.bsky.social @clairedurrant1.bsky.social and our many collaborators and funders. And extra special thanks to tissue donors who make this work possible.
📢Fabulous new paper from @tspiresjones.bsky.social, @clairedurrant1.bsky.social & team describes new mechanisms in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, suggesting that targeting tau in synapses is a promising approach for future treatments.

Our paper in Nature Comms is now online! Summary below but in short we use living human brain slice cultures in a number of different ways to model dementia processes. Big team effort led by myself, @robertmcgeachan.bsky.social and @clairedurrant1.bsky.social rdcu.be/ej647
Divergent actions of physiological and pathological amyloid-β on synapses in live human brain slice cultures
Nature Communications - Understanding synapse loss in Alzheimer’s disease has been hampered by a lack of human model systems. Here, the authors show that manipulation of physiological or...
