Many thanks to the ASAP for creating opportunities for us Maxime Rousseaux Michael Henderson to talk and bring up new ideas/collaborations. Van Andel Institute (VAI) yoland smith

Glad to see this is happening…Patrik Brundin MD PhD

Presenting this month's #OpenScience Champions 🏆 Hong-Yuan Chu Michael Henderson and Maxime Rousseaux who met at an ASAP event, started talking, began a collaboration and now have a publication in eLife! 🙌 See more: parkinsonsroadmap.org/open-science-c…

Thanks Loukia Parisiadou for visiting Van Andel Institute (VAI) and discussing tons of unpublished, exciting data on cell subtype-specific LRRK2 (dys)function with us #OpenScience . Looking forward to future cross-team collaborations through Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s yoland smith

On CBS Sunday Morning 🌞, our Founder, Michael J. Fox discusses his journey with Parkinson's, "Still", the upcoming documentary about his life, and a recent research breakthrough for Parkinson's disease.

Team Wichmann had their biannual meeting Van Andel Institute (VAI) diving into cortical dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease. Both trainees and PIs did a good job in presenting&exchanging new data/thoughts. Thanks Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s for making such a multi-disciplinary, cross-species team possible!

In our next NeURoscience Perspectives John J. Foxe sits down with #Parkinsons researcher yoland smith of Emory University. SAVE THE DATE: Tues, June 27 Listen to the #podcast or watch on #youtube Follow us!👇 🎧➡️bit.ly/3NK2TEl 📺➡️bit.ly/46i4cl7

An incredible start to #ADPD2024 with the opening plenary sessions🤩! For genetic epidemiologists (and everyone), it's pure gold!! Big thanks to Rita Guerreiro, HenneHolstege & #KoichiTanaka Really amazing! AD/PD - Advances in Science & Therapy

Dr. Luke Fischer's paper is published! Alpha-synuclein and tau pathology DO NOT overlap in the cortex in DLB. Surprising to me was the abundance of tau pathology-more so than synuclein I think (caveat- sample size is small). pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39838428/

Very interesting data “The relationship between tau and α-syn copathology is important for explaining clinical symptoms, severity, and progression, but there is no evidence for frequent, direct protein-protein interactions in the middle temporal gyrus”
