Dr. @roisinmcmanus.bsky.social vom @dzne.science untersucht, wie Entzündungen im Gehirn gezielt reduziert werden können, um die Entwicklung von #Demenz zu verlangsamen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen sogenannte Mikrogliazellen, die bei Alzheimer eine wichtige Rolle spielen. ▶️ Infos zum AFI-Projekt im Video
