The discovery from an unusual team of computer scientists and pathologists overturns longstanding dogma – and could point the way toward new therapies for neurodegenerative disease
In a paradigm shift, Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Bingwei Lu's lab has found a new role for a well-known protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders
Contrary to long-standing views, Knight Initiative-funded researchers found bone marrow-derived cells infiltrate the aging human brain, paving the way for brain-targeted cell therapies

Two immune cell types’ contact plays a major role in aging, and blocking a hormone’s influence on one of those types halted mice’s age-associated decline in multiple organs
Brain Resilience Postdoc Heankel Lyons and Pathways to Neurosciences trainee Airi Yoshimoto will receive three years of funding from the Jane Coffin Childs Fund for Medical Research
Brief electrical pulses trigger a molecular “reboot and rebound” in sea squirts, pointing toward new strategies to mitigate age-related decline, according to research backed in part by the Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience.
Nike founder Philip H. Knight and his wife Penny have made a new $90 million gift to extend the work of the Knight Initiative For Brain Resilience at Stanford University’s Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute
In this research roundup, we look back on some of the ways Knight Initiative scientists have been pursuing ways to keep our minds sharp well into old age
Knight Initiative researchers created a new atlas of aging in the killifish tracks how organs change over time, revealing processes implicated in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases
