Hey everyone! We’re excited to introduce a new subgroup within the Brain AWG focusing on how spaceflight affects cellular transport pathways involved with Alzheimer’s Disease. Specifically, our current areas of focus are TNTs and small extracellular vesicles, as well as how they play a role in the propagation of Tau and Amyloid-β. Currently, we’re in the process of drafting a manuscript for publication.
If you have any questions about our study, feel free to email justinytlin4[at]gmail.com!

Hi Justin!! Huge congratulations on this project, the data on your poster is fascinating!
I’d love to help out if you’re still looking for contributors. Last year I completed my PhD looking at PI3K signalling and actin dynamics in macropinocytosis. It’s been suggested that macropinocytosis contributes to Tau and Amyloid-β propagation, and I found macropinocytosis upregulation in Dictyostelium amoebae under simulated microgravity conditions (clinostat), so maybe there really is a link there!
Please let me know if I can be of help to the team @justinytlin
