Tomorrow we are running to raise funds and awareness for dementia research! 🧠 if you wish, you can make a donation here: action.stopalzheimer.be/teams/vib-ce...
This weekend, our teams @cmn-vib.bsky.social & our amazing lab are trading lab coats for running shoes! We're hitting the pavement to raise funds for Alzheimer's research — a cause close to our hearts and minds. Every step we take brings us closer to a cure. StopAlzheimer

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?

Hi Bluesky 🦋 I’m Nico, a microglia enthusiast based in VIB, Belgium 🧠 if you are curious about the science we do, take a look at our latest work! Here we use xenotransplantation models to map the spectrum of human microglia responses to Alzheimer’s disease pathology www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Xenografted human microglia display diverse transcriptomic states in response to Alzheimer’s disease-related amyloid-β pathology - Nature Neuroscience
Human microglia transplanted in the mouse brain mount a multipronged response to amyloid-β pathology, displaying unique transcriptional states. Alzheimer’s disease risk genes are differentially regula...
