Clonal expansion of cytotoxic CD8⁺ T cells in lecanemab-associated ARIA
Amyloid related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) remain the principal safety concern limiting adoption of anti amyloid therapies such as lecanemab, yet their underlying biology is poorly defined. To addre...

new preprint!

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

a characterization of APOE effects on the lipid droplet-ome (turns out you see a lot of "AD-related" proteins!)

first authors Cassi Friday & Isaiah Stephens + great collaborators Scott Gordon, @cohenlaboratory.bsky.social @morganti.bsky.social
