  1. Microglia-astrocyte crosstalk in the amyloid plaque niche of an Alzheimer's disease mouse model, as revealed by spatial transcriptomics

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Cell reports 2024-05-30 Genetics

    The amyloid plaque niche is a pivotal hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Trans-pQTL study identifies immune crosstalk between Parkinson and Alzheimer loci

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Neurology. Genetics 2016-07-26 TREM2 and immune genetics

    We find that the rs12456492 PD risk variant affects expression of AD-associated protein CD33 in peripheral monocytes, which suggests that genetic factors for these 2 diseases may converge to influence overlapping innate immune-mediated mechanisms that contribute to neurodegeneration.
