Please watch my beautiful animation about #microglia and #Alzheimers! Many thanks to @OxfordSparks for producing it, and thanks to Alan Titchmarsh for volunteering to do the VO, with @clearcutsound recording.
End of a great conference at #ISMND2026 in Hong Kong, here John Hardy is telling us that "good times are coming" for drug discovery in neurodegenerative diseases! @ISMND1
Excited about tomorrow's Cardiff UK DRI showcase event! I have my little microglia flag ready for leading lab tours... @UKDRI @UKDRI_ECR

How can we better understand the impact of genetics on Alzheimer's risk?
We spoke to @HazelLRoberts about her role in IPMAR, a major UK DRI initiative that established 100 stem cell lines, capturing the effects of Alzheimer's risk genes👉buff.ly/xDH8PnT
Lovely insightful talk by @mariahlelos on cell replacement therapy for #Huntingtons disease at the ARUK Wales Public Engagement event! ❤️
I'm at the @ARUKscientist Wales network public engagement event today, talking about our work on #Alzheimers disease and #iPSC!
Really enjoying the conference thus far, looking forward to my talk tomorrow!

Session 1 had excellent presentations by Dr Yasir Syed (@neurosciencecu), Dr Natalie Connor-Robson @nlconnor_robson & Dr Hazel Hall-Roberts @hazellroberts (both @UKDRI @cardiffuni ). Exciting research on oligoorganoids, endocytic dysfunction in AD & iPSC-Derived Microglia Models.

Microglia usually help maintain brain health, but scientists believe they may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's. Here, human microglia (green) grown on a thin slice of mouse brain interact with mouse neurons (red).
