Things Found At SFN: Iron, Cholesterol, and Alzheimer’s

Sci briefly considered just providing a short list of the many awesome things she had seen at SFN this day, for verily, she saw many awesome things. But she’s decided that she’s tired, the food at the conference is incredibly expensive and she’s VERY hungry, and that she’s got way too many things to cover. And stuff is going up late, because Sci’s LOVELY new netbook doesn’t like SFN’s wireless very well.
So she’s going to cover one cool poster she’s seen per day, and keep covering them, even after the conference. So you’ll get your SFN longer and longer and longer! And we all know we could stand a few more days of crazy conferencing.
So here we go!
Poster number 1:
F. ALI-RAHMANI, S. LEE, J. CONNOR, C.-L. SCHENGRUND
HFE polymorphisms affect cholesterol metabolism: Insights into neurodegenerative diseases
So you think to yourself, WTF is an HFE polymorphism, and what does this have to do with cholesterol and Alzheimer’s?
A lot, actually.
