Myelin dysfunction drives amyloid-β deposition in models of Alzheimer's disease
The incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, increases rapidly
with age, but why age constitutes the main risk factor is still poorly understood. Brain ageing …

Young CSF restores oligodendrogenesis and memory in aged mice via Fgf17
Recent understanding of how the systemic environment shapes the brain throughout life has
led to numerous intervention strategies to slow brain ageing,–. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) …

CD8+ T cells induce interferon-responsive oligodendrocytes and microglia in white matter aging
A hallmark of nervous system aging is a decline of white matter volume and function, but the
underlying mechanisms leading to white matter pathology are unknown. In the present …

Loss of fatty acid degradation by astrocytic mitochondria triggers neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration
Astrocytes provide key neuronal support, and their phenotypic transformation is implicated in
neurodegenerative diseases. Metabolically, astrocytes possess low mitochondrial oxidative …
