🧠 The Lipid #Brain Atlas is out now! If you think #lipids are boring and membranes are all the same, prepare to be surprised. Led by @lucafusarbassini.bsky.social with Giovanni D'Angelo's lab, we mapped membrane lipids in the mouse brain at high resolution.

Remyelinated fibers have a distinct lipid profile compared to intact myelin

Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism.

Our paper was just published in Nat Comm. First single‑nucleus atlas of human sural nerves in health and disease. Identified lipid‑phagocytosing macrophages and focal perineurial hyperplasia especially in immune-mediated polyneuropathies. rdcu.be/eB2Dg

How are human brain regions connected? Are the connecting axons thicker and more myelinated the longer these connecting fibers are?

In our recent paper we find that indeed, they are! Read the skeetorial below ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I am especially happy that the artwork my 4-year-old son created (with a little help) was chosen for the cover.

Thanks @elisaflo.bsky.social & team!

Can 2–4 hours of intense exercise really deplete brain myelin by nearly a third? Myelin water fraction isn’t the same as myelin, and this bold claim needs far more evidence. (Good thing marathon runners don’t seem to suffer cognitive issues!)

The STRIPAK complex is required for radial sorting and laminin receptor expression in Schwann cells

Do women exhibit less cognitive decline because they can better maintain myelin due to Plp expression from the silent X chromosome?

Not sure what mental short circuit made me search for myelin on spotify, but I’m so glad I did. What I found reignited my old love for vinyl and garage punk and took me back to my student days when I had a band like this - ‚The Myelin Sheaths’ to me sound like a beautiful serendipity of fate.

Wrapped up: advancements in volume electron microscopy and application in myelin research

Glad to have contributed a bit to this review!
