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

Pleased to share our latest work on neural-immune interactions in aging white matter.
It was a long journey, made possible by incredible support and persistent efforts of many colleagues across various locations.
Many thanks to everyone involved.

Microglia activation orchestrates CXCL10-mediated CD8+ T cell recruitment to promote aging-related white matter degeneration - Nature Neuroscience
White matter aging leads to degenerative and inflammatory changes. Here the authors show that microglial dysfunction exacerbates glial CXCL10 expression, harmful CD8+ T cell recruitment, myelinated ax...

How does the brain repair myelin after injury?

We mapped the full cellular choreography of white matter repair using snRNA-seq + Slide-seqv2, uncovering a type I interferon-driven glial program that recruits lymphocytes to promote remyelination.

Are you using 5xFAD mice to study Alzheimer’s disease? Our work out today @cp-neuron.bsky.social may be relevant to you 🐁🧠 Age and sex are known to influence Aβ plaque burden in these mice. Here, we found that the transgene parentage is another strong determinant.

Parental origin of transgene modulates amyloid-β plaque burden in the 5xFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease
The 5xFAD transgenic model, popular in Alzheimer’s disease research, exhibits varying cerebral plaque burden depending on the parental source of the transgene. Mice inheriting the transgene paternally...

How does aging affect the white matter and what are the consequences for brain function and neurodegenerative disease? Thankful to see this review with Mika Simons now published in a fascinating collection on the science of brain aging @cp-neuron.bsky.social
www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...
White matter aging and its impact on brain function
Aging leads to a decrease in white matter volume and damage to myelinated axons, contributing to neurodegeneration. Myelin breakdown can trigger inflammation, creating a vicious cycle that causes further damage. Understanding these changes is key to preventing age-related neurodegenerative disease.
