[PDF][PDF] Diverse brain myeloid expression profiles reveal distinct microglial activation states and aspects of Alzheimer's disease not evident in mouse models

BA Friedman, K Srinivasan, G Ayalon, WJ Meilandt… - Cell reports, 2018 - cell.com
Microglia, the CNS-resident immune cells, play important roles in disease, but the spectrum
of their possible activation states is not well understood. We derived co-regulated gene …

Mutant induced pluripotent stem cell lines recapitulate aspects of TDP-43 proteinopathies and reveal cell-specific vulnerability

…, J Fletcher, IH Park, BA Friedman… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
Transactive response DNA-binding (TDP-43) protein is the dominant disease protein in

[PDF][PDF] Changes in the synaptic proteome in tauopathy and rescue of tau-induced synapse loss by C1q antibodies

…, K Srinivasan, Z Jiang, V Gandham, BA Friedman… - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Synapse loss and Tau pathology are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other
tauopathies, but how Tau pathology causes synapse loss is unclear. We used unbiased proteomic …

[HTML][HTML] Untangling the brain's neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative transcriptional responses

K Srinivasan, BA Friedman, JL Larson… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
A common approach to understanding neurodegenerative disease is comparing gene

…, KL Stark, O Foreman, RAD Carano, BA Friedman… - Neuron, 2021 - cell.com
Loss-of-function TREM2 mutations strongly increase Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. Trem2
deletion has revealed protective Trem2 functions in preclinical models of β-amyloidosis, a …

[PDF][PDF] Disease-associated oligodendrocyte responses across neurodegenerative diseases

…, JS Kaminker, CJ Bohlen, TJ Yuen, BA Friedman - Cell reports, 2022 - cell.com
Oligodendrocyte dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative
