The conceptualization of the study, comprehensive data analyses and data visualisation led by Dr. Md Rezaul Islam, co-first and co-corresponding author, made critical observations in AD brains and generated hypotheses that were later tested/validated in a recently developed perfusable BBB model by Dr. Rebecca L. Pinals. Moreover, Dr. Islam identified inflammatory cell state–specific BBB signatures that are highly conserved in AD brains, providing proof-of-concept that inflammation plays a driving role in endothelial vulnerability and dysfunction. Importantly, these signatures could be rescued by an NF-κB inhibitor. Together, these findings position cerebrovascular inflammation as a therapeutic target to preserve BBB integrity in AD. https://www.rezaislam.com/news/two-scholarships-available-under-howlader-rising-stars-fellowship-2025-program monthly 0.5 2025-09-16 https://www.rezaislam.com/news/presenting-poster-at-the-2025-aging-brain-initiative-symposium-the-neuro-immune-axis-and-the-aging-brain monthly 0.5 2025-09-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67baa28eff5294311ca8f265/4e116053-6498-4600-9f79-f86b1fce1a62/09.18.2025+ABI+Symposium+Program_1.png News - Presenting Poster at the 2025 Aging Brain Initiative Symposium: The Neuro-immune Axis and the Aging Brain - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rezaislam.com/news/invited-talk-at-4th-neuroepigenetics-amp-neuroepitranscriptomics-conference monthly 0.5 2025-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67baa28eff5294311ca8f265/b922e47f-b43d-4bc4-a3be-40ae3b92b9ac/Screenshot+2025-09-09+at+11.37.22.png News - Invited for Talk at the 4th Neuroepigenetics & Neuroepitranscriptomics Conference, Malta - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.rezaislam.com/news/completed-a-3-day-workshop-on-teaching-at-mit monthly 0.5 2025-08-29 https://www.rezaislam.com/news/comment-on-new-multiomic-atlas-to-decode-the-brains-blood-vessels-posted-on-alzforum monthly 0.5 2025-09-09 https://www.rezaislam.com/news/sensory-stimulation-rescues-brain-rhythm-impairments-following-microglia-depletion monthly 0.5 2025-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67baa28eff5294311ca8f265/191d7eef-7bd6-44bd-80c1-b3a6b9d95336/Screenshot+2025-04-28+at+09.50.50.png News - A New Preprint : Sensory stimulation rescues microglia depletion associated brain rhythm impairments - Make it stand out Fig 1: Chronic Plx3397 and GENUS administration reduced microglia.
