Happy to share our third publication of @ICOD_Project where we demonstrate that low IL-18 free levels contribute with high TNF-alfa and reduced TGF-ฮฒ1 plasma levels to cognitive decline in Down syndrome and also suggest news target to treat cognitive decline in DS!! #Hadea #IMIM

Now in @NatureNeuro! Thanks to a big collaborative effort, we have created a new tool to enhance mitochondrial function using DREADDS. This results in increased oxygen consumption and rescues cognitive deficits in cannabinoid- treated mice, and in Alzheimer and dementia models!
Such a beautiful story by @MarsicanoLab with amazing data! All thanks to an exceptional team of brilliant people that trust their gut feeling and pursue their crazy ideas ๐Ÿ˜ thanks for the opportunity to contribute ๐Ÿ˜ @Neuro_Bordeaux nature.com/articles/s41593-0โ€ฆ

Today is #EuropeDay. We believe that the European Union needs to do much more for disability rights. But we have to acknowledge the key advances it was responsible for. On 9 May, read '9 things the European Union does for persons with disabilities': edf-feph.org/9-things-the-euโ€ฆ
