This study investigates how immune cells influence Alzheimer’s disease. Using a mouse model, researchers found that removing T cells did not alter amyloid plaque levels but changed microglial behavior, leading to better protection of myelin. The findings suggest T cells may worsen neurodegeneration and highlight new therapeutic possibilities.

This research investigates how motion perception changes with age and how these changes are reflected in brain function. Using behavioural tasks and fMRI, the research aims to develop simple visual tests that could be used in routine eye-care settings to identify early signs of cognitive decline and support healthy ageing.

This research investigates how T cells influence microglial behavior in Alzheimer’s disease. Using a mouse model, the study found that removing T cells did not alter amyloid-beta plaques but unexpectedly led to healthier microglial activity and reduced myelin damage. The findings suggest T cells may worsen neurodegeneration and reveal new therapeutic avenues.
