Researchers have discovered a new avenue of cell death in Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. A new study, led by scientists at Oregon Health & Science University and published online in the journal Annals of Neurology on Aug. 21, reveals for the first time that a form of cell death known as ferroptosis — caused by a buildup of iron in cells — destroys microglia cells, a type of cell involved in the brain’s immune response, in cases of Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. The researchers conducted the study examining post-mortem human brain tissue of patients with dementia. “This is a major finding,” said senior author Stephen Back, M.D., Ph.D., a neuroscientist and professor of pediatrics in the OHSU School of Medicine. Back has long studied myelin, the insulation-like protective sheath covering nerve fibers in the brain, including delays in forming myelin in premature infants. The new research extends that line of work by uncovering a cascading form of neurodegeneration triggered by deterioration of myelin. They made the discovery using a novel technique developed by the study’s lead author Philip Adeniyi, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher in Back’s laboratory.

Zakaria Ouhaz, Ph.D. is an assistant professor of physiology at “Institut Supérieur des Professions Infirmière et techniques de la santé” of Marrakech, Morocco. He received his doctorate in Neuroscience from Cadi Ayyad University, Morocco and completed his postdoctoral training in the Lab of Professor Anna Mitchell at the University of Oxford. A Royal Society Newton International Fellowship is currently supporting Dt. Ouhaz studies. Dr. Ouhaz’s research aims to understand the functional importance and underlying mechanisms associated with cortical-thalamocortical interactions in some of our daily cognitive abilities, e.g., learning new information, memory recall, and adaptive decision-making. He uses a combination of research techniques, including behavioural and cognitive neuroscience testing, rodent electrophysiology, lesion studies and pharmacogenetics, brain imaging, and neuroanatomical tracing studies. He is currently investigating how, and in what ways the interactions between the mediodorsal thalamus and interconnected neural regions (especially cortex) contribute to cognitive functioning using rodents. Dr Ouhaz also studies cognitive abilities in following damage in the dorsal thalamus, e.g., after stroke or schizophrenia.
