Research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to study immune and microglial dynamics in Alzheimer's disease using advanced organoid models to understand disease mechanisms and identify therapeutic targets.
Description
This project aims to elucidate immune and microglial dynamics in Alzheimer's disease using advanced organoid models derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The research focuses on understanding disease mechanisms and identifying therapeutic targets related to neurodegeneration and protein aggregation.
