Neurons are cool, but do you work with something cooler and understudied like the Blood-Brain Barrier? As a Guest Editor, I invite you to submit manuscripts in the Brain-Immune-Vascular interface for NPJ Dementia! More info at: nature.com/collections/ih… #Neuroscience #Alzheimer

In a multiancestry genetic study of Early-onset AD we identified eight novel genes that point to dysregulation of glutamate, immune activation WashU Medicine Knight ADRC WashU Medicine Neurology alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…
