There is every reason to believe that #Alzheimers disease has its roots in specific brain cells types. That's why our scientists, together with collaborators @UWMedicine & @KPWaResearch – with @NIHAgingnsupport, are taking a new approach, cell by cell, to understand the disease.

Where does Alzheimer's begin?

We just released the first dataset, from 1.2M brain cells, that hints at the kinds of cells that die off or change in the neurodegenerative disease.
