  1. Tau seeds from Alzheimer's disease brains trigger tau spread in macaques while oligomeric-Aβ mediates pathology maturation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2023-12-26 Biomarkers

    Oligomeric-Aβ mediates the maturation of tau pathology and its neuronal toxicity in macaques but not its initial spreading.

  2. Chronic exposure of alcohol triggers microglia-mediated synaptic elimination inducing cognitive impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Experimental neurology 2022-04-01 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Our data suggests that TREM2 is associated with synaptic plasticity impairment and memory deficits, indicating microglia-mediated synaptic pruning might be the underlying mechanism involved in synapse loss and memory impairment induced by long-term alcohol intake.
