Very happy to share that Zeeba @zeebamehrin.bsky.social's work on cellular senescence in EAE is now published in J Neuroinflammation! Congratulations, Zeeba, on this informative study! 😀https://jneuroinflammation.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12974-025-03425-3
Senescent cell reduction does not improve recovery in mice under experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced demyelination - Journal of Neuroinflammation
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by immune cell-driven demyelination and progressive neurodegeneration. Senescent cells (SCs)...

Excited to finally have this published! Out today in @naturecomms.bsky.social, we show that following demyelination in a mouse model of Multiple Sclerosis, treatment of senescent microglia with senolytics leads to improved remyelination. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

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.
