Study Pinpoints Source of Free Radicals in the Brain that May Fuel Dementia
Researchers have discovered that free radicals generated at a specific site in non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes, may promote dementia, according to a Weill Cornell Medicine study.

I started my own lab about 6 months ago at Ohio State where we’re continuing to look at ways to manipulate astrocyte biology to improve brain repair. We’re also generating new viral tools along the way, for use in research and hopefully in gene therapies for patients down the line.
