🧬🧶 #lorneproteins ⚡️ Gabby Watson - Nbs to help cross the BBB. E.g. Transferrin receptor - repurpose? Brain shuttle. Fab+Ab that targets Tfr1. 940 Nbs screened 🦸‍♀️. Binding affinity- high affinity isn't good. Likely to get routed to lysosomes. Mod affinity. Fluo label - 🧠✅️🫶👏

🧬🧶 #lorneproteins ⚡️ Joanna New: Tauopathies - symptoms of CTE overlap with other Tauopathies. Only evident in death. Characterising novel amyloid binding probes. Recombinant Tau fibrils - observe probe+/- amyloid. 👏🫶

🧬🧶 #lorneproteins ⚡️ @acmarshallphd liquid protein demixing for subcellular organisation. DBHS proteins RNA/DNA binding proteins. In paraspeckles. Prion-like N-LCR not main driver of demixing... attenuated. C-LCR higher pass separation. 🫶👏 Great talk Andrew. 🎷👌🤣
