Untangling Alzheimer’s Disease Pathology

Alzheimers disease is an intricate neurodegenerative disease that engages myriad cellular and molecular players resulting in progressive neuronal loss. Single cell sequencing integrated with spatial methods allow scientists to profile thousands of cells in their native tissue area by charting their physical area. Neighboring cells residing in the very same environment also share various protein and epigenetic markers. Multiomic methods that incorporate single cell gene expression, chromatin state, spatial transcriptomics, and protein expression information paint a complete photo of the brains biological intricacy.
