Alzheimer’s Disease is the most common form of dementia; its key pathological findings include the deposition of extracellular-neurotoxic-plaques composed of amyloid-beta (Ab). AD-pathogenesis involves mechanisms that operate outside the brain,...

We report an effective surface immobilization protocol for capture of Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 2 (TREM2), a receptor whose elevated concentration in cerebrospinal fluid has recently been associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD)....

Advances in interventions after myocardial infarction (MI) have dramatically increased survival, but MI remains the leading cause of heart failure due to maladaptive ventricular remodeling following ischemic damage. Inflammation is crucial in both th...

Stroke is a neurological emergency, where the mechanism of the blood supply to the brain is impaired, resulting in brain cell ischemia and death. Neuroinflammation is a key component in the ischemic cascade that results in cell damage and death after...
