A small 🧵 encouraging people to publish protocols.
Our #AutoSpectral release has made me reflect on how much the community tends to appreciate protocol papers. People rarely present protocols as their main achievements, but they are often the most impactful work.

AutoSpectral improves spectral flow cytometry accuracy through optimised spectral unmixing and autofluorescence-matching at the cellular level
The advent of spectral flow cytometry has seen a rapid rise in the complexity of flow cytometry experiments, allowing the construction of assays with at least 50 fluorescent parameters. To correctly d...

Had a great time at Faculty Science Day, University of Antwerp, introducing the students to the research happening in our Neuroimmunology Lab (VIB-CMN)!
Always inspiring to see the next generation of scientists curious about the brain–immune connection.

A route for cerebrospinal fluid flow through leptomeningeal arterial–venous overlaps enables macromolecule and fluid shunting - Nature Neuroscience
The authors describe a mechanism for the clearance of macromolecules from cerebrospinal fluid in which macromolecules traverse from periarterial to perivenous spaces, at sites where intersecting lepto...

Curious about how CD4+ T cells influence behaviour? In this News & Views, we discuss the new findings of Yoshida et al.:
T cells fast-track gut signals to the brain - Nature Immunology
CD4+ T cells migrate from the gut and adipose tissue to the brain parenchyma, in mouse and human, transmitting information on diet and microbiome to the subfornical organ, altering feeding behavior.
