We’ve updated our BioRxiv preprint!🄳🧠Our study on co-pathologies and neuroinflammation now includes significant new findings that strengthen our conclusions! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
My first, first-author paper is finally out for preprint!! Here we show that co-pathologies are likely behind the neuroinflammation and neuropathology related to neurodegeneration. More to come!šŸ¤žšŸ¾šŸ«¶šŸ¾ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

By comparing the brains of pts with mild motor deficits ± nigral synucleinopathy vs. sporadic PD, Chu et al. provide evidence that initiation of nigrostriatal DAergic degeneration occurs independently of a-syn aggregation and can be tau mediated. tinyurl.com/yn3aanun

Excited to have this one out! Read more about how innate and adaptive immunity are involved in Parkinson’s disease and how targeting both local and systemic inflammation will be a potential therapeutic approach in our review with @MaluTansey science.org/doi/10.1126/scit…
