Newest paper from the lab! Serum albumin-induced TGFbeta activation can drive astrocyte senescence. Important considerations for connections between blood brain barrier dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases.

Senescent glia are present in aging brain tissue and play a role in neurological disease progression, but the specific triggers of age-related senescence remain elusive. This study provides evidence...

Just out! The inaugural position paper from the @NSS_PIA of @ISTAART. The group focuses on neuromodulatory subcortical systems in neurodegenerative diseases and this paper highlights recommendations for research and funding priorities.
alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
The neuromodulatory subcortical system (NSS) nuclei are critical hubs for survival, hedonic tone, and homeostasis. Tau-associated NSS degeneration occurs early in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogene...

50k(ish) is right! If you're as surprised by this as me and @npp_journal - you should be! Our LC is about 125% smaller than expected for our neocortex given scaling in other primates. https://t.co/Fdc2fbIvsM
While estimates vary a bit across studies depending on methodologies, the human LC contains somewhere in the range of 50K. LC neurons are the primary source of norepinephrine for the brain,
