A new microglia replacement protocol based on three cycles of a CSF1R inhibitor can treat neurological disorders in mice while avoiding the need for arduous preconditioning, pointing to a safer alternative to bone marrow transplantation. Read more in Science Translational Medicine:

Ashish Sharma, PhD, a BrightFocus Alzheimer's Disease Research grant recipient, is uncovering the connection between circadian rhythm disruptions and the accumulation of amyloid plaques and tau protein in the brain—two key Alzheimer's biomarkers. This research is deeply personal

🧠💤 Can better sleep protect the brain? New research from WashU shows that the sleep aid lemborexant improves rest and reduces harmful tau protein buildup—offering potential protection against Alzheimer’s disease. bit.ly/4jubE1Z

A week ago, I defended my PhD thesis about the role of REV-ERBs in astrocytes in neurodegeneration. None of this was possible without the support of my family, my PI, my wonderful lab and my friends. Now onwards into clinic #PhDone #mstp #washumed
