Trauma-induced Alzheimer's disease (AD) is rapidly emerging as a major consequence of traumatic brain injuries (TBI), with devastating social and economic impacts. Unfortunately, few treatment options are currently available due to a limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms. A clinically-relevant, experimental model that emulates scenarios with high levels of spatial and temporal resolution is critical for demystifying the pathways of post-TBI AD.

Phylogenetic analyses have established the 'morpho-type' as a highly polyphyletic group and have resulted in taxonomic revision and description of an additional six new cyanobacterial genera in the same family to date. Among the most prolific marine cyanobacterial producers of biologically active compounds are the species (previously then ) (previously ), and .
