Journal ArticleDOI

A Drosophila Genetic Resource of Mutants to Study Mechanisms Underlying Human Genetic Diseases

TL;DR: A mosaic genetic screen of lethal mutations on the Drosophila X chromosome is conducted to identify genes required for the development, function, and maintenance of the nervous system and to provide insights into microcephaly associated with brain dysgenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complement C3aR Inactivation Attenuates Tau Pathology and Reverses an Immune Network Deregulated in Tauopathy Models and Alzheimer’s Disease

TL;DR: It is shown that the expression of C3 and C3a receptor (C3aR1) are positively correlated with cognitive decline and Braak staging in human AD brains and a crucial role for activation of the C3-C3 aR network in mediating neuroinflammation and tau pathology is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Type I interferon response drives neuroinflammation and synapse loss in Alzheimer disease

TL;DR: Gene expression interrogation revealed that IFN pathway was grossly upregulated in clinical AD and significantly correlated with disease severity and complement activation, therefore, IFN constitutes a pivotal element within the neuroinflammatory network of AD and critically contributes to neuropathogenic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Digital sorting of complex tissues for cell type-specific gene expression profiles

TL;DR: A Digital Sorting Algorithm for extracting cell-type specific gene expression profiles from mixed tissue samples that is unbiased and does not require prior knowledge of cell type frequencies is described.
