The brain works hard to clear waste, and impairments are central to neurodegeneration. In @CellCellPress, Innovation Investigator @andcyang, w/ @NaliniRRao, Yuichi Chayama, and team map it from the inside out, following the brain’s own proteins to see where waste actually goes. https://t.co/NUuhLXiFCl
