Hot off the press 🚨 Epidemic spreading between regions is often modelled on a network 🕸️ But how do we describe this process properly? Here, we show how to build a linear transport operator at the network scale, by coarse-graining local advection-reaction-diffusion within edges. shorturl.at/0tAN8

We review comp. models of brain activity and protein spread in neurodegeneration, and argue that linking them is key to understanding and intervention

In this paper, we connect local damage to brain vasculature to global progression of toxic proteins leading to neurodegenerative diseases.

We identify situations where disease initiation can be caused by focal hypoperfusion following vascular injury.
