Electro-Calcium uncoupling precedes neurodegeneration in Alzheimers disease www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01...

Preprint alert: Check out our latest work 'Electro-Calcium Uncoupling in Capillary Endothelial Cells Precedes Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease'. We used Young 5xFAD mice to decipher neurovascular communication deficits in pre-symptomatic phase of AD.

First Preprint from my group @NIHIRP, where a summer project led by Vanshika Chaddha took unexpected turn into identifying Primary Cilia across the Brain Vasculature.
New avenues for NVC.
Amazing Collaboration with @sorengrubb.bsky.social, Carolyn Ott and Jennifer Lippincott-Schwartz.

Join us in congratulating the CCAD Cohort of 2026! We look forward to their innovative contributions to the field of Alzheimer’s disease and the CCAD community.

#CCAD2026 #AlzheimersDisease #NewVisionResearch

Excited to share our first pre-print from the new SSPB section at the NIDCD!🥳
We hope you find it interesting and inspiring for future research. Thanks to our team, colleagues, mentors and collaborators 🔥 💪 🙏 .
Take a look—and stay tuned for more!

Showing how a precapillary sphincter dilates during high blood pressure

🐭🧠 #PrecapillarySphincters (PS) at the #arteriole–#capillary junction rapidly dilate ~30% in seconds during #SensoryStimulation—regulating #capillary #BloodFlow dynamically. Here we investigated whether they protect downstream microvessels during abrupt #BloodPressure surges 🧪🧵

Congrats @sorengrubb.bsky.social and team :)

Congrats John and team :)

Congrats :)

Congratulations 🎊

Congratulations to you and your team 🎊

I am actively looking for a research scientist position or research administration role within the Raleigh-Durham (RDU) area! Please reach out if my background and skillset might fit your labs needs :-) Lots of experience with preclinical models, translational neuroscience, and behavioral analyses!

Congratulations 🎊

Yes, please. Thank you 😊

I am delighted to share the work of my amazing student Dominic Isaacs! Out today in PNAS (www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...), Dom beautifully used optogenetics to show that thin-strand pericytes in the brain can send long-range electrical signals to control arteriole diameter and brain blood flow.

Congratulations :)
