127 - Amyloid-beta Aggregation and Toxicity, Part 2: January 2021

Welcome to the baptists, the tauists, and all protein aggregation and misfolding enthusiasts from the beautiful realm of neuroscience. This episode is for you if you study amyloid-beta aggregation and toxicity in Alzheimer's disease. You will hear about fibrillar assembly, staining techniques to identify those sneaky aggregates, and strategies to inhibit this process in the hope of developing targeted therapeutics. Come hear condensed summaries of the findings published in January 2021 on this topic!

Every episode of AMiNDR is the result of a huge team effort. Today's episode was scripted by Jacques Ferreira, hosted by Sarah Louadi, reviewed by Anusha Kamesh, and edited by Sanjana Bedi. The bibliography was created by Satish Kumar, and the wordcloud was generated by Sarah Louadi using www.wordart.com.  Big thanks to Elyn Rowe, Jacques Ferreira and the rest of the sorting team for sorting all the papers published in January into themes for our episodes, to our managers Sarah Louadi and Ellen Koch for keeping everything running smoothly, and props to the whole team that works very hard behind the scenes to make all this possible. 

Our music is from "Journey of a Neurotransmitter" by musician and fellow neuroscientist Anusha Kamesh; you can find the original piece and her other music on soundcloud under Anusha Kamesh or on her YouTube channel, AKMusic.

If you are interested in joining the team, send us your CV by email. We are specifically looking for help with sorting abstracts by topic, abstract summaries and hosting, creating bibliographies, and promotions. However, if you are interested in helping in other ways, don't hesitate to apply anyways.
