Discover how a target identified in colon cancer research led to an unexpected opportunity to protect brain cells and preserve cognition in mouse models of Alzheimer’s and head trauma. Sanford Markowitz, MD, and Andrew Pieper, MD, PhD, describe the translational path, mechanistic insights into neuroinflammation and neurogenesis, and what’s needed for human trials.
