The results of a study in Nature Metabolism establish hyperglycosylation as a pathological driver of Alzheimer’s disease and highlight glycan metabolism as an actionable target in the fight against the disease. #alzsky #Neuroskyence 🧪
Hyperglycosylation is a metabolic driver of Alzheimer’s disease - Nature Metabolism
Through spatial multiomics, spatial stable isotope tracing and retrospective cohort analyses, this study identifies hyperglycosylation as a driver of Alzheimer’s disease and a promising therapeutic target.

AI is amazing but the game is still the same: we need to make a discovery and AI won't do that for you..
So NYC Postdocs, join us Thursday for this month's Postdoc Night Science event! We're meeting at a bar near Union Square for some science buddy "speed dating".

In our latest episode of Interviews With Authors, we discussed PentatricoPeptide Repeat (PPR) proteins, their roles in RNA binding, use in protein design and other things, and I'd like to share some highlights.
What are PPR proteins and why do they matter, you may ask? Anuradha has the answers:

Still looking for any of these!!!! Thank you!!!!
As some of you may know... we're down $5m and may or may not ever claw any of it back. So, we're writing new grants.
If anyone would be willing to share a funded application for
- NSF CAREER or NIH DP2 that is 100% dry lab-based
- NSF BIO Capacity: Infrastructure
I will owe you a coffee forever!
