See allHuman neurons accumulate far more mutations over lifespan than shorter-lived mammals
Cortical neurons gain mutations at similar yearly rates across six species, leaving aged humans with uniquely high mutational burdens and transcriptomic dysregulation.

CAR T cells targeting inflammatory bone marrow progenitors restore cognition in aged mice
Clearing these peripheral myeloid cells remodeled brain macrophages and improved cognitive performance without requiring the engineered immune cells to enter the brain.

Extracellular cGAMP drives neuroinflammation and premature aging phenotypes in mice
Loss of the cGAMP-degrading enzyme ENPP1 allows microglia-derived signaling molecules to trigger STING-dependent inflammation across multiple brain cell types.
