This study shows that metal-rich air pollutants induce ferroptosis and amyloidogenic pathways linked to Alzheimer's disease through shared transcriptional and oxidative mechanisms.

This study uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to induce traumatic brain injury in human iPSC-derived cortical organoids, revealing key pathological features like tau phosphorylation and neurodegeneration.

This study investigates the role of Tcf12 in calvarial bone development and motor learning in mice, finding that Tcf12 loss leads to altered bone formation and impaired motor learning.

This study shows that microvascular injury from mild TBI accelerates Alzheimer-like pathology in mice, suggesting vascular repair could mitigate AD risk.
