Excited to share our study nature, nature.com/articles/s4158… functionally defining a new memory CD8 subset, a novel CD8 T cell-driven complement activation pathway, and a new CD8 T cell-mediated pathogenic mechanism of allergy. huge kudos to Xin Liu IITU Tsinghua University

There is a misconception that only amyloid-targeting treatments have been studied in Alzheimer's disease. The reality is that clinical trials have evaluated many, many treatments unrelated to amyloid over the past few decades. Please see the chart below from 2016, which shows the

#Education is linked to better #memory and larger brain volumes, but not to slower cognitive or #brain decline with age—suggesting the association reflects early-life factors rather than neuroprotective effects in #aging Anders Martin Fjell LCBC - UiO nature.com/articles/s4159…

We know GLP-1 drugs reduce brain inflammation. But I didn't anticipate bipolar disorder as a possible indication in the future nature.com/articles/s4138…

Online now! A new study shows that degraded elastin fragments, which increase in the circulation over time, promote aging. Counteracting elastin fragment signals alleviates inflammation, promotes healthy aging, and extends lifespan doi.org/10.1038/s43587…
