I’m a huge fan of the work done by @typlab.bsky.social - so it was great to have the opportunity to write a preview of their work describing an in vitro triculture model of Alzheimer’s (with @celarber.bsky.social & Tatiana). Check it out & go read their paper!

Excited to share that our paper describing the establishment of our iPSC-derived triculture model is finally out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social! Using this system, we show how the co-culture environment shapes cell responses, with a particular focus on microglia!

Astrocyte induction of disease-associated microglia is suppressed by acute exposure to fAD neurons in human iPSC triple cultures
Lish et al. present a co-culture system of iPSC-derived human microglia, astrocytes, and neurons to investigate intercellular communication across different environmental and genetic contexts. Transcr...

Excited to see our recent study featured on Alzforum! Thank you for highlighting our new study on how AD risk variants at the CLU locus lower astrocytic clusterin, disrupt neuroimmune crosstalk, and drive synapse loss. Read the full story here!

New TYP lab paper out today in @cp-neuron.bsky.social led by PhD student @alexlish.bsky.social! We took a deep dive into the mechanisms underlying CLU in AD using innovative iPSC, mouse, and human data approaches. Be sure to give it a read!

CLU alleviates Alzheimer’s disease-relevant processes by modulating astrocyte reactivity and microglia-dependent synaptic density
Lish et al. reveal that AD-protective CLU alleles enhance CLU upregulation in response to accumulated neuropathology, thereby dampening inflammatory signaling between microglia and astrocytes. Using s...

Thrilled to share my first first-author paper is out
@cp-neuron.bsky.social! We show that Alzheimer's disease protective CLU alleles upregulate CLU in response to neuropathology, dampening inflammatory signaling between microglia and astrocytes.

Genetic studies implicate clusterin (CLU) in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), yet its precise molecular impact remains unclear. Through u…
