Sleuthing reveals their primers are for the completely unrelated Cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP). Unfortunately cAMP is the main focus of their paper.

The first research article from my PhD is out now in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social
Read on to hear about how increased BIN1 in microglia impairs autophagy, and a physiological function for BIN1 in coordinating the closure and release of newly-formed autophagosomes

Coordination of autophagosome closure and release by the Alzheimer’s disease-associated protein BIN1
Autophagy is a pathway that removes damaged or superfluous cellular components. Palmer
et al. show that microglial upregulation of BIN1, which is associated with an increased
risk of Alzheimer’s disea...

Neuronal autophagy in the control of synapse function
In this review, Karpova et al. summarize and discuss the current understanding of
how neurons have adopted autophagy to serve the needs of very long-living and highly
polarized cells with thousands of...

Great day at #RAREfest24 talking with people living with rare diseases, their families, other scientists, and artists (and playing with microscopes and clay of course!). My favourite things from today: these artworks about Prion disease by Emily Jolley, and the feelings of hope shared by many
