Cover story in Immunity! 🎉 Aged CD8 T cells and their secreted factors drive hippocampal-dependent cognitive decline. Targeting them rescues cognition in old mice, pointing toward future therapeutics for age-related cognitive loss. Congratulations Dr. Juliana Sucharov team!

Wonderful to be able to share this fantastic new work in @biorxivpreprint led by @HerberCharlotte (and in collaboration with @VilledaLab) on how aging impacts spatial coding and memory!
I'm excited to share a preprint reflecting my PhD work with @lisa_giocomo, where we characterized the impact of aging on the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), a key hub of spatial coding and memory. 🧵below! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/11)

New work from the lab @NatureAging! 🌱🌱 We asked whether the ability of plants to suppress pathological protein aggregation can be applied into human cell and animal models to delay or even prevent neurodegenerative diseases nature.com/articles/s43587-0…

An impressive trio of papers makes a strong case for platelet factor 4 (PF4) as the key to reducing inflammation and improving cognition in the aged brain model nature.com/articles/s41586-0… @Nature @VilledaLab @UCSFMedicine @justsaysinmice

This is a super cool convergence of work coming out of the labs of @DenaDubal @UCSF and Tara Walker @QldBrainInst demonstrating that the same plate factor – PF4 – can rejuvenate cognition in the context of klotho, exercise and young blood! @NatureAging @NatureComms

Super thrilled to share our most recent work, published today in @Nature! Adam Schroer and Brit Ventura led this tour de force study, which shows that a platelet factor in blood plasma – PF4 – can attenuate inflammation and rescue cognition in aging: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
