Tissue chips mimic the function of human organs and are used to study diseases, test medications, & investigate cellular responses to spaceflight stressors. These small devices could help us take the next giant leap while benefiting human health on Earth: go.nasa.gov/3CSgfsI

About 1 in 5 of us have an APOE4 gene variant, the #1 genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. But the mechanism for brain injury was a mystery, now getting unraveled (cholesterol processing by oligodendrocytes) nature.com/articles/s4158… @nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

Delighted by the fantastic presentation by @narayan_pri at CSHL on APOE biology. Fundamental biology with lots of future potential for major insights into this enigmatic protein. She is hiring so I encourage any interested trainees to consider her lab at the NIH!

Huge congrats to Dr. Jessica Schwarz Jessica Schwarz in my lab for winning the New Investigator Award! Her work aims to find mechanisms of risk and resilience to Alzheimer’s using our engineered mini-human brains. Thanks Alzheimer's Association National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) for supporting this exciting work
