Session Overview

Innovation Grant Lightning Talk:

"From gut to brain: reprogramming peripheral macrophages at the intestinal barrier to prevent age-associated inflammation and cognitive decline"

Katrin Andreasson (PI) and Ivan Soltesz will investigate whether a decline in intestinal immune cell metabolism drives age-related inflammation and cognitive decline. By replacing aged intestinal macrophages with metabolically healthy ones, they hope to develop a novel approach to enhance cognitive resilience.

Team: Katrin Andreasson and Ivan Soltesz
