Excited to share our newest article in Nature, examining the earliest brain changes that occur in young athletes who play contact sports nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Repeated head trauma causes neuron loss and inflammation in young athletes

Nature - Repetitive head impacts from contact sports are associated with brain inflammation, vascular damage and neuron loss that are independent of hyperphosphorylated tau pathology.

Happy to share our latest publication showing there is distinctive neuroinflammation present between neurodegenerative diseases and inflammatory proteins might be a good source of new biomarkers jneuroinflammation.biomedcen…

Neuroimmune proteins can differentiate between tauopathies

Journal of Neuroinflammation - Tauopathies are a group of neurodegenerative diseases where there is pathologic accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau protein (ptau). The most common tauopathy is...

NEW STUDY: Led by PI Dr. Jesse Mez, we found that APOE ε4 status was significantly associated with CTE stage & quantitative p-tau burden in the dorsolateral frontal lobe among brain donors >65 years who played contact sports or served in the military. bit.ly/3u77B4C
