Prion disease researcher (Lecturer) at The Roslin Institute, The University of Edinburgh.
- I’m raising awareness for Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), a rare, fatal neurodegenerative disorder that has no treatment or cure. Together, we can support important research and programs for families affected. Learn more at www.cjdfoundation.org #IntlCJDAwarenessDay #cureCJD #CJDFoundation #CJDday
- Reposted by Barry BradfordA single case of atypical #BSE has been confirmed on a farm in Essex today. The fast identification of the disease is testament to a robust veterinary surveillance system that is effective in detecting potential risk. Read our statement. www.bva.co.uk/news-and-blo...

- Something to keep me busy 😁
- Looking for some nice, clean, kid-friendly neuro content? How about a colouring-page about brain cells and they ways they interact? Includes plain language explainers about different types of brain cells. I use this #OER in my #CogPsych classes 😉 #OA downloads: doi.org/10.21979/N9/... 1/
- Lab & mind switched off, time to enjoy the festive break and refresh for 2025. What new things will we discover?

- Reposted by Barry Bradfordit's big, and it's a review of 601 papers on the topic - but here's an update on Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's Disease www.nature.com/articles/s41... led by Michael Heneka, published in @natrevimmunol.bsky.social today (MANY more authors listed and linked below)
- Reposted by Barry BradfordThis PhD project, with Iris Mair Amy Pedersen and myself looks at the interactions between microbiota and immune regulatory cells and pathways at barrier sites. It includes fieldwork with wild mice on the Isle of May. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

- Reposted by Barry BradfordIn the late 1980s, before anyone knew how Abeta was made, Wisniewski hypothesized that microglia made plaques because TEM showed amyloid in communication with microglial ER. Something to this I suppose? Maybe endosomes, not ER? I’m not a cell biologist. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Prion spongiosis: the sponge-like appearance of #prion affected brain tissue when viewed under a microscope. Resulting from the formation of tiny, round vacuoles (holes) in the neuropil (the dense network of neurons and glial cells) and within neuronal cell bodies.
