Cell-specific circadian disruption in Alzheimer's Disease
Wednesday, August 6, 2025
A team led by Ron Anafi, M.D., Ph.D. used single-nucleus RNA sequencing combined with mathematical modeling in human brain and discovered dampened daily cycling of ribosomal/metabolic genes from brains of Alzheimer's patients. The reduced cycling indicates disruption of protein production machinery, and subsequent disturbance of cellular clocks. The results suggest that breaking this loop and restoring circadian rhythms may slow the progression of Alzheimer's Disease. Results were published in Neuron. Congratulations!
