Summary:
- This article discusses a research associate position focused on studying the role of senescent (aging) microglia cells and their connection to Alzheimer's disease.
- Microglia are immune cells in the brain that play a crucial role in brain health and function. As we age, these cells can become senescent, which means they stop functioning properly and may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
- The research associate will investigate how senescent microglia contribute to the progression of Alzheimer's disease and explore potential ways to target these cells to slow or prevent the disease.
