A new study co-authored by Knight Initiative Director Tony Wyss-Coray demonstrates a simple way of studying organ aging by analyzing distinct proteins in blood, enabling the prediction of individuals’ risk for diseases. Image news | Oct 30 2023 Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience Surprising finding links sleep, brain insulation, and neurodegeneration Erin Gibson’s lab has discovered that the precursor cells to myelin-producing oligodendrocytes are regulated by the circadian system in mice. When that regulation breaks down, the researchers saw abnormal myelination — but also fragmented sleep.

Working in the Gibson Lab, Brain Resilience Postdoc Scholar Daniela Rojo looks at how abnormal changes in gene activity impact the cells involved in producing myelin to the extent that it leads to neurodegeneration in the brain. Image news | Aug 24 2023 Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience Blood Cells Mutated in Old Age Protect Against Alzheimer’s Disease Pathologist Siddhartha Jaiswal discovers a surprising twist to our biology: age-related mutations that increase the risk of blood disease also protect against brain disease.
