304 - Understanding APOE: July 2022

AMiNDR: A Month in Neurodegenerative Disease Research

In this episode exploring the effect of allelic variation of APOE, we review abstracts from large human GWAS studies all the way down to new mouse models expressing the human ApoE proteins. There are some particularly interesting abstracts on protection from cognitive decline despite having a risk allele for Alzheimer's disease. These are great studies to open the door for future research in this field!

Thank you to our sponsor, the Canadian Consortium of Neurodegeneration in Aging, or CCNA, for their financial support of this podcast. This helps us to stay on the air and bring you high quality episodes. You can find out more about the CCNA on their website: https://ccna-ccnv.ca/.

Our team of volunteers works tirelessly each month to bring you every episode of AMiNDR. This episode was scripted and hosted by Cassi Friday, edited by Michelle Grover, and reviewed by Sarah Louadi and Ellen Koch. The bibliography was created by Anjana Rajendran and the wordcloud was created by Lara Onbasi (www.wordart.com).

Big thanks to the sorting team for taking on the enormous task of sorting all of the Alzheimer’s Disease papers into episodes each month. For July 2022, the sorters were Sarah Louadi, Eden Dubchak, Ben Cornish, Ellen Koch, Dana Clausen, Christy Yu, and Elyn Rowe. Also, props to our management team, which includes Sarah Louadi, Ellen Koch, Naila Kuhlmann, Elyn Rowe, Anusha Kamesh, and Lara Onbasi for keeping everything running smoothly.

Our music is from "Journey of a Neurotransmitter" by musician and fellow neuroscientist Anusha Kamesh; you can find the original piece and her other music on soundcloud under Anusha Kamesh or on her YouTube channel, AKMusic.

If you are interested in joining the team, send us your CV by email. We are specifically looking for help with sorting abstracts by topic, abstract summaries and hosting, audio editing, creating bibliographies, and outreach/marketing. However, if you are interested in helping in other ways, don't hesitate to apply anyways.
