Obesity leads to chronic, systemic inflammation and can lead to insulin resistance (IR), β-cell
dysfunction, and ultimately type 2 diabetes (T2D). This chronic inflammatory state …

Astrocytes control multiple processes in the nervous system in health and disease. It is now
clear that specific astrocyte subsets or activation states are associated with specific genomic …

Abstract Characterization of the genetic landscape of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related
dementias (ADD) provides a unique opportunity for a better understanding of the associated …

The human brain vasculature is of great medical importance: its dysfunction causes
disability and death, and the specialized structure it forms—the blood–brain barrier …

To date, most expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) studies, which investigate how genetic
variants contribute to gene expression, have been performed in heterogeneous brain …

Resolving glial contributions to Alzheimer's disease (AD) is necessary because changes in
neuronal function, such as reduced synaptic density, altered electrophysiological properties …

The gene-regulatory landscape of the brain is highly dynamic in health and disease,
coordinating a menagerie of biological processes across distinct cell types. Here, we …

Genome-wide association studies have discovered numerous genomic loci associated with
Alzheimer's disease (AD); yet the causal genes and variants are incompletely identified. We …

The assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) provides a
simple and scalable way to detect the unique chromatin landscape associated with a cell …

Parkinson's disease is characterized by loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra.
Similar to other major neurodegenerative disorders, there are no disease-modifying …
