Andersen's group contributors to Alzheimer's study published in Science

The Laboratory of Adaptive Immunity and Homeostasis, led by Professor Jan Terje Andersen, is involved in a new study that has been published in the prestigious journal Science. The study sheds light on how new biological insights can provide more effective immunotherapy aimed at age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's.

The work is a collaboration between Andersen's lab and researchers Leo James at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) and William McEwan at University of Cambridge and the UK Dementia Institute.
