An experimental Alzheimer's drug shows promise targeting a different brain protein, new study shows

An experimental drug might help slow early Alzheimer's disease in a markedly different way than current treatments — by lowering the brain's production of a protein called tau. Today two Alzheimer's d...

I've been watching this study and the amazing research team who have had the most incredible challenges to overcome to complete the study. Kudos to the team and to all the amazing participants - not all heroes wear capes!

Molecular biologist & geneticist Susan Lindquist (b. #OTD in 1949) was a pioneer in studying protein folding. Her research demonstrated protein folding errors contribute heavily to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's & Parkinson's diseases. National Medal of Science in 2010. #WomenInSTEM

This colorful portrait captures pioneering American molecular biologist and geneticist Dr. Susan Lindquist (June 5, 1949 – October 27, 2016), a National Medal of Science recipient who revolutionized our understanding of protein folding, prions, and heat-shock proteins. Facing the camera with a warm, confident smile, her short brown hair frames an engaging, intellectual expression. She wears a structured, dark green textured blazer over a striking, light blue silk scarf patterned with vibrant illustrations of sliced limes, lemons, oranges, and cherries, accented by elegant gold hoop earrings.She stands directly in front of a white dry-erase board covered in hand-drawn, multicolored biochemical pathways and pathways tracking "sterol biosynthesis," "Erg3," "Ergosterol," and "Mutations Azoles" from her famous research into evolutionary adaptations and antifungal resistance using yeast models. The tight composition and bright ambient lighting emphasize a deeply intellectual, creative, and historic mood, celebrating one of the most influential scientific minds of the modern era.

When the forces of racism feel empowered, they weaken our country, our communities, and our morality. We stand up, we lift each other up, we fight for dignity, decency, equality. Please rise up with these fierce advocates in my “You can’t un-post racism.” Starter Pack #2. go.bsky.app/HCYwvXA
