It felt like the right time for a reminder. This is based on an older interview but almost too relevant today. “On Failure and “Pathological Persistence” in Science“ by Michael Yassa on Medium: medium.com/@myassa_62896/on-…

Unexpectedly, we found that microglia not only activate at the lesion site but also at distant white matter regions, indicating long-range propagation of inflammatory signaling in the brain.

Study findings suggest that permeability of the blood-brain barrier is linked to Alzheimer disease pathophysiology, contributes to cerebrovascular lesions observed on MRI, and is associated with neuroinflammation in middle age: hubs.la/Q03P9Wwp0

#AAIC25 identify pathways that may be transporting pathogenic molecules between brain-gut; what if you use these pathways to deliver therapeutics

📣 Today is a turning point in what we know about brain health. The results from the U.S. POINTER trial provide the rigorous data needed to say with confidence that healthy behaviors can meaningfully protect brain health across diverse populations in the U.S. The findings, shared for the first time today at #AAIC25, tested lifestyle programs that simultaneously targeted risk factors. The programs focused on: ✅👟Aerobic exercise ✅🧠Cognitive engagement ✅🥗Nutrition ✅🫀Health Monitoring U.S. POINTER is the largest research commitment the Association has made in its history. The landmark results are testament to our commitment to our mission. Thank you to the study participants, our community, our donors, and the staff who made these findings possible. alz.org/USPOINTERresults
