This study examines how wildfire smoke and diesel exhaust affect inflammatory responses in aging human microglia, showing distinct temporal and molecular effects on oxidative stress and cytokine profiles.

This study replicates group-level sleep EEG differences in schizophrenia and shows increased patient-to-patient variability in NREM metrics, with medication and age-related effects contributing to this heterogeneity.

This paper develops a method to generate monocyte-derived microglia from ALS patient blood, revealing functional impairments and pathological features associated with disease progression.

This study develops 3D models of Alzheimer's patient microglia that show distinct disease features and drug responses compared to 2D cultures.
