Fresh from the lab!

In this new paper, PhD student Sven Kerst shows how phenotypes observed in isolated cell models for the leukodystrophy MLC are also observed in intact astrocytes in acute brain slices!

Impaired Volume Regulation and Electrophysiology of Astrocytes In Situ in a Mouse Model for Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy With Subcortical Cysts
Cell culture studies show disrupted astrocyte physiology in the leukodystrophy MLC. Are intact astrocytes similarly affected? This study on astrocytes in MLC mouse brain slices confirms and exten...

Excited to share our latest paper!

We argue that in MS, the primary immune attack isn’t on myelin or myelinated axons — but on the ion & water homeostasis machinery in astrocyte endfeet.

A short thread on this new perspective

I’m very excited that NWO will fund our ENW-XL consortium grant ‘Superglue’!! The project will focus on astrocytes, the multifunctional glue cells that keep our brain working. Let’s see what we will discover 🤩 !!

Hey folks! I got a tattoo of my beloved PIEZO ion channel on my arm! Now I can show how they activate (flatten) under pressure by flexing—Will add a bit of performance art to my science talks 🧪🧠.

some great starter packs for the #glia, #astrocyte, #oligodendrocyte, #microglia, #neuro researcher: gliasky, astrocytesky, microglia
But if you also like interactions between celltypes, please help this starter pack get started. Maybe someone can connect all of us in a feed?
