Comments on: Using Tau Protein to Investigate the Link between Sleep Deprivation and Alzheimer’s Disease in a Drosophila Model /2021/04/05/kate-evans/ Wed, 29 Sep 2021 18:33:23 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Marcel El Kouri /2021/04/05/kate-evans/#comment-24723 Sat, 17 Apr 2021 01:38:42 +0000 https://news.wooster.edu/?p=7456#comment-24723 Interesting you pointed out the age of flies in your study – in my I.S., there was some evidence that the older our mutant larvae were, the more significant their overextension…maybe we should make a poster to hang up in around the lab that says “OLDER FLIES = DIFFERENT DATA”. Curse you, fruit flies. Anyways, awesome job!

Gracie, thank you so much! Yes, I loved how our projects interact with each other. It just goes to show that there is so much in neurodegenerative diseases and neuroscience in general that have yet to be discovered! I think I would try to make sure that I did age the flies longer next time- to implement the onset of AD longer through increased tau presence. Thank you again, Gracie! I know you are going to do great things!

I’m amazed by the connections that can be drawn between our studies.. for example, my mice were tested at an early age, as well, despite AD being an age-related disease! Thanks for sharing your results as this is such a relevant area of study. If you could have changed anything about your study, what would it have been? Wishing you the best with City Year and beyond!
