Delighted that our work on interferon-alpha driven brain disease has made the front cover of @ImmunityCP after many years of work with brilliant collaborators in Australia, France and US. Short summary of paper to follow.

This month's beautiful cover depicts work from Hofer, @HuntLabEdin, Viengkhou &co showing that in Aicardi-Goutières syndrome, neurotoxic IFNα originates in the CNS & mediates disease primarily through its effects on the cerebral microvasculature.

Work like this would struggle to go ahead without funding from the wonderful organisation that is @MedResFdn, who support vital research in underfunded areas.
Medical Research Foundation@MedResFdn

Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome is a rare disease that can trigger #dementia in children. Previous Emerging Leaders Prize winner @HuntLabEdin recently co-led a study, funded in part by @MedResFdn, that could lead to new treatments for this condition. bit.ly/3LQdjjM @UKDRI
