"Understanding how hypertension affects the brain at the cellular and molecular levels during the earliest stages of the disease may provide clues to finding ways that can potentially block neurodegeneration."

"It has very broad implications for neuroscience, especially in understanding how pain and learning share similar molecular mechanisms."

The system uses machine learning to analyze millions of immune-cell receptors—the molecular fingerprints left as the body responds to threats—and detect patterns linked to autoimmune activity.

The sensor's protein domain can be connected to other molecular components, allowing scientists to map the locations of DNA damage across the genome or determine which proteins gather around a damaged region.

Overall, the discovery of the PU.1-CD28 axis provides researchers with a new molecular framework for understanding how protective microglial states arise.
