Researchers Connect Alzheimer’s-Associated Genetic Variants with Brain Cell Function
Led by scientists at UNC-Chapel Hill and UC-San Francisco, research reveals new non-coding genetic variants associated with Alzheimer’s disease functioning in microglia – brain cells already implicated in the progression of this often-fatal neurodegenerative condition.
A Stem Cell Model From Mount Sinai Could Help Unravel the Complex Biology Behind Some Psychiatric Disorders
Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have applied a novel stem cell model to map disease risk variants in human neurons, which could help provide insights into the biological mechanisms that underlie neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.
