LINE-1 retrotransposons regulate the exit of human pluripotency and early brain development
Long interspersed nuclear element 1 (L1) retrotransposons represent a vast source of divergent genetic information. However, mechanistic analysis of whether and how L1s contribute to human development...

Incomplete remyelination via therapeutically enhanced oligodendrogenesis is sufficient to recover visual cortical function - Nature Communications
Remyelination can restore neural function. Here, the authors characterize the drivers and limits of endogenous remyelination and explore a therapy that rescued remyelination deficits and accelerated n...

Excited to share our new work identifying PKC as a druggable target for modulating microglia in order to enhance myelin repair. 🧵 #remyelination #multiplesclerosis www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The protein kinase C modulator bryostatin-1 therapeutically targets microglia to attenuate neuroinflammation and promote remyelination
Protein kinase C modulation with bryostatin-1 enables innate immune cells in the central nervous system to promote myelin repair and regeneration.

Thrilled to see this paper out!! 🧪

Spatial transcriptomics of brain aging and 'spatial aging clocks' identify cells that have pro-aging or pro-rejuvenating effects on their neighbors!

Huge CONGRATS to Eric Sun and all authors! Fantastic collaboration with @jameszou.bsky.social!

3 reviews on planning, execution, & validation of transcriptomic experiments in neuroscience published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social #NatureNeuroscience.
A MUST READ if you're doing transcriptomics.
3 reviews, an amazing editorial, a beautiful cover – this is the issue of the year!

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.
