Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is currently untreatable, and therapeutic strategies aimed to slow cognitive decline have not yet been successful. Many of these approaches have targeted the amyloid cascade, indicating that...

Gloria B. Choi, Ph.D.
Picower Institute for Learning and Memory Investigator
MIT Associate Professor
Abstract
Gloria Choi studies the interaction of the immune system with the brain and the effects of that interaction on neurodevelopment, behavior and mood. She also studies how social behaviors are regulated according to sensory stimuli, context, internal state, and physiological status, and how these factors modulate neural circuit function via a combinatorial code of classic neuromodulators...

Andrew Yoo, Ph.D.
Associate Developmental Biology Professor
Washington University School of Medicine
Abstract
Yoo Lab researchers study neurogenic activities of microRNAs (miRNAs) and develop cellular reprogramming approaches to turn human fibroblasts directly to neurons without going through stem cell stages. Of particular importance for modeling late-onset disorders, direct neuronal conversion propagates cellular age stored in starting fibroblasts to generate human neurons that mimic the...

Abstract
The diseased brain hosts a heterogeneous population of myeloid cells, including parenchymal microglia, perivascular cells, meningeal macrophages and blood-borne monocytes. To date, the different types of brain myeloid cells have been discriminated solely on the basis of their localization, morphology and...
