Delighted that our work on interferon-alpha driven brain disease has made the front cover of @ImmunityCP after many years of work with brilliant collaborators in Australia, France and US. Short summary of paper to follow.
This month's beautiful cover depicts work from Hofer, @HuntLabEdin, Viengkhou &co showing that in Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, neurotoxic IFNα originates in the CNS & mediates disease primarily through its effects on the cerebral microvasculature. Image by Ben Gartland, Grant

Work like this would struggle to go ahead without funding from the wonderful organisation that is @MedResFdn, who support vital research in underfunded areas.
Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome is a rare disease that can trigger #dementia in children. Previous Emerging Leaders Prize winner @HuntLabEdin recently co-led a study, funded in part by @MedResFdn, that could lead to new treatments for this condition. @UKDRI.
