It was long thought that fat in the brain played no role in neurodegenerative diseases, but #Purdue researchers are challenging that assumption. Gaurav Chopra led research on how fat disables the brain’s immune shield in Alzheimer’s disease. purduesci.com/41Jw5SC #chemistry #alzheimers #boilerup
Purdue-led study shows how fat disables the brain’s immune shield in Alzheimer’s disease
Recent research findings challenge the assumption that fat in the brain plays no role in neurodegenerative diseases. The findings show that excess fat in the brain’s resident immune cells impairs thei...

Multimodal Nano-DESI Mass Spectrometry Imaging Reveals Phospholipids Accumulation in and around Amyloid Plaques in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), characterized by β-amyloid plaques, is increasingly recognized by lipid dysregulation as a key factor in its pathology. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), a powerful tool for m...
