CLU alleviates Alzheimer’s disease-relevant processes by modulating astrocyte reactivity and microglia-dependent synaptic density
Lish et al. reveal that AD-protective CLU alleles enhance CLU upregulation in response
to accumulated neuropathology, thereby dampening inflammatory signaling between microglia
and astrocytes. Using s...

Great article featuring pioneering work from the Frost lab along with promising clinical trial data @bessfrost.bsky.social
Could blocking ‘jumping genes’ help fight disease and aging?
The first clinical trials are testing inhibitors of transposons, DNA sequences that hop around the genome on their own
