Table 2. Human donor information and cell yields.

Rhode Island Hospital Pathology Core staff prepared/harvested/obtained all donor tissue, which was immediately flash frozen within a post-mortem interval of 12-24 hours and stored at −80°C to preserve sample integrity for downstream biochemical assays. AD-severe diagnosis indicates Braak staging of VI/VI. Abbreviations: F, female; M, male; y.o., years old.
