The symposium showcased research ranging from rejuvenating the brain’s immune system to predicting cognitive health, and celebrated the next chapter of the Knight Initiative
A new study co-authored by Knight Initiative Director Tony Wyss-Coray demonstrates a simple way of studying organ aging by analyzing distinct proteins in blood, enabling the prediction of individuals’ risk for diseases.
Stanford Medicine queried Wu Tsai Neuro and Knight Initiative affiliates share their expertise on the what the human brain are thinking about humans vs AI.
Erin Gibson’s lab has discovered that the precursor cells to myelin-producing oligodendrocytes are regulated by the circadian system in mice. When that regulation breaks down, the researchers saw abnormal myelination — but also fragmented sleep.
In searching for how a gene mutation associated with the cell’s recycling center leads to a rare disease, Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience and Wu Tsai Neuro affiliate Monther Abu-Remaileh and team identified a missing link in neurodegenerative condi
Pathologist Siddhartha Jaiswal discovers a surprising twist to our biology: age-related mutations that increase the risk of blood disease also protect against brain disease.
Tony Wyss-Coray and colleagues have turned up substances in blood that can accelerate or slow down the brain-aging clock. They've identified proteins on blood-vessel surfaces through which some of these molecules can act on the brain, despite the existenc
An international collaboration led by Michael Greicius, MD, professor of neurology at Stanford Medicine, has found a rare mutation that protects against Alzheimer’s in individuals who are genetically predisposed to the disease.
With a new study published in Nature, Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute researchers are helping to show that the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes our brains holds clues to healthy brain aging.
