Very proud of this new study from the lab! 🌟We identified a novel lncRNA, FAM151B-DT, that is disrupted across neurodegenerative diseases. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Proud to share a new preprint from Farzané Mirfakhar using super resolution microscopy to understand how FTD-causing tau mutations disrupt lysosomal transport and tau degradation biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @WUADRC @FTDcwow

@anvithaaaa Welcome 🙏

had a big coming of age moment cutting my own bangs today

Microglia can make their own pathogenic tau, wrecking phagocytosis TREM2 signaling, and spewing a brew of neurotoxic molecules. @WUSTL ow.ly/Mv4850ScjyQ

My old lab AND my boyfriend celebrating without me!? FOMO to the max!! Congrats Kaelin and @caelagamoo on your new @ajpheartcirc article!

Great day at Busch Stadium with the lab!! ⚾️🔬🧬🧪

I'm so excited to announce - The first ever Wisconsin-wide research conference for scientists at ALL career stages! Registration now open. Free for for all trainee scientists (undergrads onward)! Please share.

Happy WashU Psychiatry Research Day to those who celebrate! I’m lucky to be part of a lab who makes incredible discoveries and shows up to support one another 🫶🧬🔬🧪 @washupsychres @WashUONR @wustlcrm @WUADRC

Images from Monday's eclipse! Glad to spend the time with @ScientistSwift and @anvithaaaa!

@chaiemoji I will give it a valiant effort 😆

@chaiemoji This thought occurs to me about once a year

@RouseJoey YASSSSS! I can't wait to celebrate you on the day you become a freaking doctor!!!! 😍

Proud partner moment. Congrats @jakeadelman1 on your paper and cover!

Personal testimony that the Patterson Lab/ MCW is an AMAZING place to do science.

@anvithaaaa Does the zero stand for zero joy?

do you too hear the sweet siren song of cherry vanilla coke zero?

Check out our recent publication where we looked at the potential for human neurons to become infected by Human Cytomegalovirus. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

@RouseJoey Love you 💛

Just published! Authors from @cvcatMCW offer new contributions to the Tnni3K debate in the most recent issue of JMCC. Read their article, "Tnni3k influences cardiomyocyte S-phase activity and proliferation", at: buff.ly/3L2Hm88 @scientistswift @caelagamoo @MCW_CBNA

Latest paper from the lab trying to add our take on the Tnni3k debate: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @ScientistSwift
