Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to study a novel calvarial skeletal stem cell's role in Alzheimer's disease and potential therapeutic strategies.
Description
This project aims to determine how a newly identified skeletal stem cell in the calvarial bone influences Alzheimer's disease progression and brain inflammation, verify similar cells in humans, and explore drugs targeting these cells to slow disease progression.
