Researchers Map Causal Gene Networks in Alzheimer's

Relevance Score
Researchers at UC Irvine and Purdue publish a first-of-its-kind 2026 genetic map of Alzheimer's brains using SIGNET, analyzing 272 postmortem samples. The study identifies hub genes and roughly 6,000 causal interactions concentrated in excitatory neurons, providing cell-type-specific regulatory networks and highlighting potential drug targets, though validation against non-diseased tissue is still needed.
