Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have gained insight into the mechanism by which a pathological brain protein called tau contributes to the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. This finding, published in the most recent issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, may provide the basis for future investigations on how to prevent tau from damaging brain circuits involved in cognitive function.
Previous studies have shown that the abnormal folding, or misfolding, and buildup of tau are key neuropathological features of many neurodegenerative disorders, including AD. Some research has demonstrated that AD-type tau neuropathology spreads in the brain, seemingly moving from one brain cell to another.
A research group led by Giulio Maria Pasinetti, MD, PhD, Saunders Family Chair in Neurology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, explored whether misfolded tau released by neurons from the human brain - also known as paired helical filaments (PHFs) - could actually be taken up by surrounding cells and promote the spread of tau neuropathology. The evidence was gathered by treating human neuronal cell lines with human Alzheimer's disease-derived PHFs. The researchers found that not only did the cells in fact internalize the human PHFs, the abnormal tau then propagated its abnormal state to the native, normal tau protein in the cells.
"While these findings are potentially important for possibly opening new therapeutic avenues in Alzheimer's disease, they also shed light on a new therapeutic target for a wide variety of disorders sharing pathological features with Alzheimer's disease, for which there are currently no cures," said Dr. Pasinetti. "Such diseases include Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, frontotemporal dementia, and other devastating neurodegenerative disorders in which misfolded tau forms aggregates in the brain."
Next the researchers treated the same cell lines with a grape-seed extract enriched in polyphenols, which are natural compounds found in grapes, fruits, and vegetables, based on 2011 research showing the efficacy of this extract in preventing the progression of AD in mice. Dr. Pasinetti's group found that a subfraction of this natural grape-seed extract enriched in polyphenols was able to prevent the cell-to-cell spread of tau pathology in the same human neuronal cell lines.
"Pathology in neurodegenerative disorders is thought to be initiated decades before disease onset," said Dr. Pasinetti. "While further research is needed in humans, we hypothesize that this grape-derived compound may be a promising therapy for not only treating but preventing neurodegenerative disorders involving tau neuropathology."
Dr. Pasinetti and Jun Wang, PhD, Assistant Professor of Neurology at Mount Sinai, are named inventors of a pending application filed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine titled "Methods Preventing Neurodegenerative Disease" related to the use of grape-seed extracts for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and may benefit financially from this patent.

Any takers for this? I've posted this info on the EVS forum as well.
Happy New Year!
I am writing to invite The Forest to host a table at the Heriot-Watt Volunteer Fayre taking place at the Student Union, Riccarton Campus on Thursday 21st January from 10:00-15:00pm.
I belive that you attended this event last year and Heriot Watt Student Association would be very happy to welcome back somebody from The Forest to host a stall and tell students what opportunities there are for volunteering.
Our Volunteer Fayre is part of our Target 50 campaign which aims to see half our student population volunteering in some way. I know of a few of our students who very much enjoy the atmosphere and activities that you offer.
In terms of looking for volunteers, is there a project that you currently require help with? We have found that students are particularly attracted to opportunities that present themselves as beneficial to the individual in terms of work experience, CV and skill development and are looking to set up connections with organisations who may need the kind of skills our students have to offer. This may be auditing, web management, or database contstruction.
As well as a stall at the fayre we are offering a half hour slot in a separte room for a talk/presentation/demonstration to those organisations who want to take us up on this offer. This would be advertised to student groups who you may wish to be targeted. I have attached a list of the courses we offer and the socieities we have to give you an idea of the current student groups.
If you would be interested in attending, and for more information please contact me either by phone or email.
Many thanks for your time,
Elizabeth Brough

The last time we were treated to a "Twilight Zone" movie, it was split into four segments, each one directed by an A-list helmer, but this time around they just want one huge name. Looking at their wish list, it's hard to imagine in which direction they hope to go.
Christopher Nolan, Michael Bay and Alfonso Cuaron, are the frontrunners, with David Yates and Rupert Wyatt lurking in the offing as dark horse candidates, reported Variety. Looking at this list, Bay's name sticks out like a sore thumb, making it difficult to judge what they're up to, but it's obviously got blockbuster aspirations.
Nolan has made three Batman movies and "Inception" for Warners, so they clearly play well together, but his schedule is a bit tight; Bay's been planning to make his weightlifting dark comedy "Pain and Gain," but could be wooed by a big truckful of money; Cuaron has worked with WB, also, as has Yates, who's been chewing on a couple of tent-pole offers; and Wyatt's calendar appears to be wide open.
U.S. & World
Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, John Landis and George Miller each directed a segment in the 1983 film version, each one based on episodes from the original series. It was during the filming of Landis' segment, "Time Out," that Vic Morrow and two child actors were killed in a helicopter accident.
The new film, which is being produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, would follow one narrative touching on multiple themes from Rod Serling's original series. Serling's life is currently going through the Hollywood meat grinder, as Oliver Stone's longtime collaborator Stanley Wieser is working on a script based on his life.
No matter who directs this, there's gonna be a ton of angry and confused Bella fans that opening weekend.

I recently purchased a new dell inspiron N7110. The laptop is great and Ubuntu 11.04 works quite well but there is one important problem.
The problem with most touchpads on laptops is that you'll often touch them accidentally while typing, this gets recorded as a tap/click and the typing cursor might move to another location and thus you might and up tying to a whole different place.
With synaptics touchpads or ALPS touchpads ( this is what N7110 has - ALPS Glidepoint) you can use syndaemon, a program that would run in background, monitor the keyboard and disable the touchpad while you type. But this program only works for touchpads which are being recognized as synaptics or ALPS touchpads. The touchpad on N7110 was recognized as a simple mouse, Xorg loaded the evdev driver instead of synaptics.
So I thought that maybe I can modify syndaemon to make it work with mice too. And I did. I noticed a lot of other people have the same problem so this could be useful even if you have a different touchpad that's also recognized as a mouse.
Download the patch for syndaemon here:
[download id="32"]
To apply the patch:
- apt-get install xorg-dev
- mkdir synaptics && cd synaptics
- #install the synaptics driver source package
- apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
- # cd to the code directory , your version might be different depending on when you do this
- cd xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3abe/tools
- # apply the patch
- patch < syndaemon-mouse.diff
- # go to source main folder
- cd ..
- # configure, compile and install, by default in /usr/local so it will not override the system installed syndaemon
- ./configure && make && make install
The patch adds a new option to syndaemon to tell it to disable the mouse instead of a touchpad, without this the program will just exit when it can't find the touchpad.
- # run syndaemon with the -s option this enables mouse support
- /usr/local/bin/syndaemon -i 1 -K -d -s
Don't forget to start it every time you start X.
Of course this is more like a quick hack then a real fix. A real fix would make Xorg or the kernel ( not sure exactly where the problem really is ) recognize this touchpad as a touchpad not as a mouse.
