Research Topic
Reagan's research explores how vitamin B12 deficiency impacts gut tauopathy following mild TBI, using a MAPT transgenic mouse model. She investigates the effects of vitamin B12 on pTau aggregation, δ-secretase activity, and gut microbial composition through pathological analyses and sequencing approaches, with the goal of clarifying how nutritional factors shape gut–brain interactions in neurodegeneration.
