Title: The Gut-Brain Axis in Alzheimer’s Disease Pathogenesis

Abstract:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of elderly dementia. Current research explores the gut-brain axis's roles in various neurological conditions, including autism, Parkinson's disease, and AD. Our lab found gut microbiome changes impact colon integrity, blood immune cells, brain conditions (amyloid plaques, tau tangles), and cognitive function in an AD animal model. We've developed technology to explore brain and gut organoids from control and AD patient iPSCs, potentially revealing initiators/regulators of the gut -brain pathway in AD.
