7/ Overall, our results suggest that cell-cell communication between glia and neurons is altered in a cell-type-specific manner and affects canonical signaling pathways like WNT, p53, and NFkB in AD inhibitory neurons.

6/ We found that transcription factors functioning as signaling mediators showed differential activity in AD, and the canonical signaling pathways WNT and p53 showed decreased activity, while NFkB activity was increased in inhibitory neurons.

5/ We confirmed that interactions altered in AD were mostly cell-type-specific. We predicted 17 high-confidence interactions conserved across datasets, which included 2 AD-risk genes (APP and APOE). We also predicted interactions involving semaphorins and plexin receptors.

4/ We used two publicly available AD snRNA-seq datasets from human postmortem prefrontal cortex to infer altered communication between glia and neurons. We explored the downstream effects of interactions conserved across datasets through transcription factor and pathway activity.

3/ Although neuronal loss is a primary hallmark of AD, non-neuronal cell populations are ultimately responsible for maintaining brain homeostasis and neuronal health through intercellular communication.

2/ In this study, we predicted altered cell-cell communication between glia and neurons and their downstream effects on transcription factor and canonical signaling pathway activity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Kudos to Reviewer #3, who closed w/ this: "Praise for the authors: I try to end all of my reviews with areas of the paper I really liked because I know reviews can be hard to read. So here are a few areas of the paper where I thought the writing really shined." 1. __ 2. __ 3. __
