INTERFERON-REGULATORY FACTOR 7: A NEUROIMMUNE ROLE FOR VAPOR-INDUCED ESCALATIONS IN ETHANOL SELF-ADMINISTRATION

Dennis F. Lovelock, Joseph M Carew, Elizabeth M. McNair…·Joyce Besheer

This study shows that chronic intermittent ethanol vapor exposure increases IRF7 levels in brain regions associated with alcohol self-administration and alters excitatory/inhibitory balance, contributing to escalated drinking.

Microglia promote neurodegeneration and hyperkatifeia during withdrawal and prolonged abstinence from chronic binge alcohol

Elizabeth M. McNair, Lamar Dawkins, Baylee R. Materia…·Leon G. Coleman

Loss of neuronal lysosomal acid lipase drives amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's disease

Alexandra Barnett, Elizabeth M. McNair, Lamar Dawkins…·Leon G. Coleman

This study identifies neuronal lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) loss as a driver of amyloid pathology in Alzheimer's disease by linking disrupted lipophagy to Aβ accumulation and cognitive deficits.
