We are excited to share the publication of our latest research that explored the molecular effects of long-term pharmacological LRRK2 inhibition in vivo. This comprehensive study was completed by Ph.D. candidate Jillian H. Kluss in the lab of Dr. Mark R. Cookson at the National Institute on Aging, NIH.
Researchers in the Center for Translational Research in Neurodegenerative Disease (CTRND) have published a review paper entitled “Remodeling Alzheimer-amyloidosis models by seeding” in the journal of Molecular Neurodegeneration. The paper was published by Neuroscience graduate student Brittany Ulm along with CTRND and McKnight Brain…
In a new podcast, Dr. Malú Tansey discusses how her team helped lead the way in UF’s efforts to bring researchers safely back to the lab.
The CTRND has formed a partnership with the Tyler’s Hope Organization. Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, which force certain parts of the body into abnormal, sometimes painful, movements or postures. Dystonia can affect any part of the body including the…
Dr. Sylvain Doré has been named a Fellow of the American Heart Association for his research on Stroke. Please join the CTRND in congratulating Dr. Doré for this honor conferred by the Stroke Council of the American Heart Association…
In work supported by the ALS association, CTRND researchers have had a paper published in Acta Neuropathologica in which they shed light on a potential mechanism for the spread of ALS through the Central Nervous System. This provides a potential target for the development of a gene therapy for the…
CTRND Post-doctoral fellow, Jacob Ayers, Ph.D., under the direction of CTRND faculty Paramita Chakrabarty, Ph.D., Yona Levites, Ph.D., David Borchelt, Ph.D., and Todd Golde, M.D., Ph.D., has published a study…
CTRND faculty members Jada Lewis and Benoit Giasson along with UF graduate student Rachel Bailey and Jason P. Covy of Stanford University have reported in Acta Neuropathologica their discovery of a biological mechanism linking Parkinson’s disease to Alzheimer’s disease. Their NIH/NINDS funded research focused on the LRRK2 (“lerk two”) enzyme…
