Interested in understanding how and why IDRs matter for cellular function?

@BBKrage and I took a deep dive into this question and – with excellent feedback and critiques from colleagues & our amazing editor – put together our perspective on this: https://t.co/kmaC3Zhp3R

@byl015 Such a cool tool!! Congratulations

[Byungkook Lim @byl015]

New tools from my lab. Due to Minju Jeong's extensive efforts to validate the tools and Jun-Hyeok Choi's ingenious molecular design, we can now present additional methods to identify and modulate specific neuronal populations.

APOE4 locks microglia in a state of homeostasis, preventing them from clearing amyloid plaque or beckoning astrocytes to help. Deleting APOE4 stirred microglia to dispose of plaques and tau tangles. @BrighamWomens @MayoClinic @hkust
