Dr. Kizil and his team at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City will develop a first-in-class precision therapy that targets accumulation of the protein fibronectin and subsequent neuroinflammation at its source before irreversible damage and cognitive decline occur. This therapy could offer safer, genetically informed, and personalized treatment options for patients carrying the APOE-ε4 allele, which is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease.
Caghan Kizil, PhD was awarded a #CureOneCureMany Catalyst Award in #Neuroinflammation.

Dr. Bennett and her team at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania will coordinate three different laboratories to study the neuroimmune mechanism of how microglia—the brain’s immune cells, which trigger neuroinflammation—transition into an early form called ISGMs (interferon-stimulated gene-expressing microglia). This could lead to new therapies that replace and engineer microglia to treat potentially hundreds of brain diseases.

Dr. Rowitch and his team will study neuroinflammation and its role in multiple sclerosis, particularly regarding neurons that express the genetic marker CUX2. They will identify pathways for clinical intervention and develop approaches to enhance DNA repair after damage from neuroinflammation.

Dr. Dhindsa and his team, based at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, will leverage AI to analyze millions of gigabytes of data and identify human genetic variations that increase the risk of virally triggered Alzheimer’s disease and neuroinflammation. These studies could enable new antiviral and vaccination strategies to treat Alzheimer’s.

It's a brain map that represent a pinky brain with highlighted areas. Neurological Map of Cognitive and Emotional Independence. A professional medical illustration of the human brain in both lateral (side) and sagittal (cross-section) views, specifically color-coded to show the "Resistance Circuit" involved in maintaining autonomy against manipulation and psychopathic influence. Key Anatomical Regions and Labels: Red (Prefrontal Cortex / PFC): Located at the front of the brain. Labeled as the "Command Center" for executive function and logical reasoning. Blue (Dorsomedial Prefrontal Cortex / dmPFC): Located in the upper-middle PFC. Labeled for tracking social discrepancies and maintaining independent opinion. Yellow (Anterior Insula): Deep within the lateral sulcus. Labeled as the "Gut Instinct" and social boundary detector (the "Cringe" response). Green (Amygdala): A small almond-shaped structure in the temporal lobe. Labeled for emotional response and social signal processing. Purple (Anterior Cingulate Cortex / ACC): Located on the inner surface. Labeled for conflict resolution between logic and emotion. Functional Visuals: The Link: Large green double-headed arrows indicate "Strong Functional Connectivity" between the PFC (Logic) and the Amygdala (Emotion), illustrating a regulated emotional state. The Guide: A sidebar table summarizes the "Functional Map Guide," matching the colors to their cognitive roles. Practical Application: A bottom-right panel titled "How to Use the Map" provides cognitive prompts for each region, such as "Red: Ask 'Is it factually true?'" and "Yellow: Pay attention to boundaries (chest tightness)." Academic Context: The image serves as a pedagogical tool for understanding how neuroplasticity and connectivity in the frontal and temporal lobes contribute to psychological resilience.
Curious insights to some general queries for comparisons when thinking about toxic human relationships and brain circuits to be trained and protected. #Resolving

- Long-term cognitive impairment
This allows peripheral immune signals or inflammatory mediators to enter the CNS, further fueling #neuroinflammation

IL‑6,IL‑1β ,TNF‑α disrupt neurotransmission, glucocorticoid regulation & memory processes, mechanisms shared with major psychiatric disorders
These studies does not always evaluate “infectious biomarkers” as a formal category, but cytokines function in this role because they reflect persistent immune activation, #neuroinflammation & pathogen‑triggered signaling.
🚨New job alert! Come join our growing ECR community and #neuroinflammation theme at the Jeff 🎉
We have an exciting post-doc opportunity to work on an MRC funded project studying inflammasomes in the lab of Prof David Brough.
