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
Brain Resilience Postdoctoral Scholar Annie Goettemoeller is studying how epilepsy-like activity might drive the spread of Alzheimer’s pathology in the brain
Degradation-resistant proteins pass from neurons to glial cells in a process that may spread protein clumps around the brain, according to a study in mice.
The database of lysosomal proteins is already helping researchers study how brain cells’ waste and recycling systems work—or don’t—in Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases
From studying post-viral fatigue to engineering transparent mouse brains, round three of the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute’s Big Ideas grants will push the bounds of what’s possible
Join us as we look back on some of the key studies we covered here at Wu Tsai Neuro and the Knight Initiative in 2025 to give a (very partial) overview of the impact of our community’s research efforts this past year
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia are devastating neurodegenerative diseases. Knight Initiative postdoc Yi Zeng is working to understand the role a central protein plays in both diseases—and whether it might point toward new diagnostics and treatments
Neuroradiologist Raag Airan and his lab have found a non-invasive, drug-free method to help clean the brain, reduce inflammation, and treat disease—and with Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience support, they plan to test it in people soon.
