🧪 We had the pleasure of hosting @steinaerts.bsky.social from @vibneuroleuven.bsky.social as a keynote speaker!
🧬 A fantastic talk on modelling genome regulation using single-cell atlases, with great discussions on gene regulation, modelling and AI, neural development, and atlases.
Microglia cellular changes underlie divergent resilience-associated mechanisms in human aging. @vibneuroleuven.bsky.social
By studying brain tissue from older adults with and without cognitive decline, as well as cognitively healthy centenarians, the researchers uncovered distinct immune-cell states linked to disease progression and resilience.

💬 “This has been an exciting journey with many partners. The study, entirely based on human donor material, provide insight into one type of resilience mechanism in the progression of AD to dementia” says Bart De Strooper, co-senior author of the study, and head of the De Strooper Lab at our Center.
