Among the recent publications attributed to Garner are studies that explore both cellular and animal models to understand neurological and biochemical processes. Notable works include:

  • "Chronic Treatment with 50 mg/kg Cannabidiol Improves Cognition and Moderately Reduces Aβ40 Levels in 12-Month-Old Male AβPPswe/PS1ΔE9 Transgenic Mice," published in 2020 in the Journal of Alzheimer s Disease
  • "Chronic cannabidiol (CBD) treatment did not exhibit beneficial effects in 4-month-old male TAU58/2 transgenic mice," published in 2020 in Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior
  • "Generation of APOE knock-down SK-N-SH human neuroblastoma cells using CRISPR/Cas9: a novel cellular model relevant to Alzheimer's disease research," published in 2021 in Bioscience Reports
  • "Small angle X-ray scattering analysis of ligand-bound forms of tetrameric apolipoprotein-D," published in 2020 in Bioscience Reports

Garner has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Georgia Watt and Tim Karl, each contributing to multiple publications, as well as Kani Shang, Jerzy Zieba, and Juan C Olaya.

The venues that have featured Garner's work more than once include Bioscience Reports, along with individual contributions to the Journal of Alzheimer s Disease and Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior.
