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.
By Todd Taylor New research provides insight into how inflammation, bacterial populations and levels of short-chain fatty acids, or SCFAs, might be linked to the development of Parkinson’s disease. The study, published in the journal Molecular Neurodegeneration, was co-authored by Malú Tansey, co-director of UF’s Center for Translational Research in…
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…
Ariel Walker, a Ph.D. candidate in the department of neuroscience, is the latest investigator to be featured in MBI Rising Stars, a video series highlighting up-and-coming neuroscience researchers at UF. Working in the lab of Jada Lewis, Ph.D., Walker is investigating the interaction between early tau protein abnormalities…
University of Florida neuroscientist Dr. Malú Tansey, a leader in the field of neuroimmunology and co-director of the College of Medicine’s Center for Translational Research in Neurodegenerative Disease, is highlighted in a Knowable Magazine feature on the increasing evidence suggesting a link between chronic inflammation and Alzheimer’s disease. Read…
New preclinical research led by UF neuroscientists shows that tau proteins, considered a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease pathology, build up in brain cells of mice and continue to be cleared. The novel finding published in the journal Acta Neuropathologica indicates that reversing pathological tau formations could be possible. Understanding the…
January 2021 cover of the journal Movement Disorders Malú Tansey, Ph.D., was featured on the cover of the January 2021 journal of the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society for her work entitled “Genetic and environmental…
Todd Golde, M.D., Ph.D. and Jada Lewis, Ph.D. have both been ranked in the top 20 for NIH funding in 2019 by the prestigious Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research.
