A Cellular Community in the Brain Drives Alzheimer’s Disease
October 18, 2024
Columbia Neurologist Philip L. De Jager, MD, PhD and Neuroscientist Vilas Menon, PhD led a technically complex and innovative study of Alzheimer’s Disease that, according to Dr. De Jager, “highlights that Alzheimer’s is a disease of many cells and their interactions, not just a single type of dysfunctional cell. We may need to modify cellular communities to preserve cognitive function, and our study reveals points along the sequence of events leading to Alzheimer’s where we may be able to intervene,” explains De Jager.
