The LMB welcomes new Group Leader Joergen Kornfeld
Joergen Kornfeld’s group in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division will investigate the connectomics of learned behaviour using the zebra finch as a model.
New potential therapy for neurodegeneration removes tau aggregates and improves motor function
Leo James’ group, in the LMB’s PNAC Division, have worked with Will McEwan’s group at the UK Dementia Research Institute to design two new therapeutics which harnesses cellular machinery to remove tau aggregates, improving motor skills in mice affected by neurodegenerative disease.
Members of LMB fundraise and take part in first CBC 5km, 10km and Fun Run
Members of the LMB joined almost 700 fellow runners to take part in the first Cambridge Biomedical Campus 5km, 10km and Fun Run on Sunday 1st September. LMB runners included Adam Mayes, who raised over £1000 for Bike the UK for MS, running in an LMBee costume. The runners medal featured the DNA double helix […]
Unprecedented heteromeric amyloid structure in neurodegenerative disease
Surprising advance to our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases, as Diana Arseni and Benjamin Ryskeldi-Falcon in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division find that frontotemporal lobar degeneration Type C filaments include both annexin A11 and TDP-43 in a unique heteromeric structure.
Diana Arseni appointed Group Leader in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division
Diana Arseni’s research group in the LMB’s Neurobiology Division will study mechanisms of brain health, ageing and disease focusing on the lysosomal protein TMEM106B.
