Whole‐brain cell‐cell interaction patterns explain tissue damage in several neurodegenerative conditions

We identified whole-brain ligand-receptor interactions involved in neuron-astrocyte, neuron-microglia, and neuron-neuron signaling pathways that explain the observed atrophy patterns in multiple neurodegenerative conditions. These key ligands and receptors may serve as potential therapeutic targets and advance our understanding of neurodegeneration.

Abstract

We identified whole-brain ligand-receptor interactions involved in neuron-astrocyte, neuron-microglia, and neuron-neuron signaling pathways that explain the observed atrophy patterns in multiple neurodegenerative conditions. These key ligands and receptors may serve as potential therapeutic targets and advance our understanding of neurodegeneration.
