Caption

Brendan Miller (left) and Alan Saghatelian (right) created the first microprotein atlas of the human frontal cortex with and without Alzheimer’s disease, then used the atlas to find a link between a microprotein and brain immune cell dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease. The atlas was created with help from their AI-powered microprotein-finding tool, ShortStop, which can be seen on the computer.
