Translational Medicine Friday

In utero microglial dysregulation can durably alter brain wiring and immune set-points, increasing lifelong psychiatric risk.

Val's Take/Conjecture
  • ​We're getting a clearer and clearer understanding of how Dysregulation of MICROGLIA --- the BRAIN'S INNATE IMMUNE CELLS ---- prenatally can lead to Lifelong Neurodevelopmental and Psychiatric Risk.
  • ​Further, IMMUNE SET POINTS are being re-set in ways we previously did not imagine.
    • ​Which greatly affects so-called "SECOND HITS" [or more] throughout the Lifespan.

    Translational Medicine Friday

    We're riffing off NPR's Science Friday to create Translational Medicine Friday.

    We'll be collecting Research Article recommendations for Clinicians with regard to Cognitive Disability.

    ​There is much in the RESEARCH JOURNALS and we'll just be SKIMMING THE SURFACE.

    The POINT is to INCREASE FUNDING for TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH at the Federal Level for the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control, the Nation's Research & Teaching Hospitals and possible collaborations with Medicare and Medicaid providers.
