Enjoying Gothenburg before #ADPD2023! Fantastic to be here and see some sun too 😄 @w_mcewan lab and friends UK Dementia Research Institute 🤩



The UK DRI's @w_mcewan & Leo James' Lab (@MRC_LMB) have developed new therapies that selectively remove aggregated tau proteins - harnessing the unique capabilities of a protein called TRIM21. The treatment improved symptoms of neurodegeneration in mice👉buff.ly/47ogpFG


Researchers from @MRC_LMB in Cambridge, England and UK Dementia Research Institute at Cambridge University have developed new potential therapies that selectively remove the aggregated tau tangles to treat #Alzheimersdisease. Learn more: hubs.li/Q02PRGyg0


Targeting intracellular tau tangles with the active domain of a ubiquitin ligase mopped them up rapidly in tauopathy mice. #alzheimersdisease UK Dementia Research Institute, @MRC_LMB ow.ly/eNMm50Ts1MZ
