86 - Treatments Targeting the Immune System & Glia in Alzheimer's Disease: September 2020

Happy New Year from the AMiNDR team! In our first episode of 2021, Abdullah presents on the modulation of inflammatory response in AD, with a big emphasis on microglia, the forgotten heroes in his mind, they clean, repair and protect your brain. Hopefully by the end of the episode you’ll know more about why changing their behaviour could be the treatment we are looking for.
