That's a wrap! Our lab represented to connect with a fantastic lineup from periphery to brain at #PBIC24. Thanks to @VIBConferences and all amazing speakers for inspiring sessions and fruitful networking! 🤓
Extra hands in the lab today 🧪👩🔬🧫🔬Thanks Mirthe! @YOUCA_vzw @Vdb_lab @VIBLifeSciences @ugent @SMCLede
We looked into the impact of H. pylori bacterial EVs on AD pathology. We show that these EVs exacerbate Aβ pathology, which may be at least in part due to reduced Aβ clearance by microglia. The H. pylori bacterial EVs induced effects can be blocked by C3aRA treatment.
Next, we show that H. pylori EVs increase glial reactivity in wild type mice and that C3-C3aR signaling is an important pathway for this process. Moreover, the microglial activation leads to excessive synaptic pruning and contributes to neuronal dysfunction.
Check out our latest paper in #JEV by @JunhuaXie , in which we show that Helicobacter pylori-derived bacterial #extracellularVesicles (EVs) have detrimental effects on brain functionality and accelerates #Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis via C3-C3aR signaling.
A heart-shaped choroid plexus of the left lateral ventricle in the mouse brain, right next to the hippocampus. Love working on this tiny tissue. @VIBLifeSciences @Vdb_lab #microscopy #sciart
Check out the posters (30 & 105) of our lab represented by @charyssevdd & @PieterDujardin at #NHAD21!
Excited to join in-persoon the #NHAD21 together with over 350 researcher (online and in-persoon) from across the globe!
The mechanisms behind Niemann-Pick type C disease are still incompletely understood and this hampers finding an effective treatment! Our newest publication @Vdb_lab now shows for the first time that the choroid plexus might play a significant role in this disease. (1/5)
