In a new Science study, researchers report a previously overlooked contributor to the meningeal immune landscape in early brain development: group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Learn more ⬇️ 📄: bit.ly/3YzGBJE #SciencePerspective: bit.ly/4fg4zkc
Thrilled to finally share this work from my PhD! Very appreciative of the amazing team that helped from start to finish, and the dual mentorship from @AnnaMolofskyLab and @Molofsky_lab! Stay tuned for a thread. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Our latest paper with @Molofsky_lab is out! tweetorial to follow. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells promote inhibitory synapse development and social behavior | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @jerika_barron @ Nick Mroz
Excited to share the latest story from our group in @CellCellPress and so proud of the great science and incredible dedication of first authors @sculptorofdance and @CarolineScsGlia and all co authors (more details to follow) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
1/8 Are all synapses created equal? @clembrnrd in @Rico_lab and @MarinLab has found that the building of new synapses is controlled in a cell-type and even synapse-type-specific manner. This is the story @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… ⬇ thread @dev_neuro @MRC_CNDD
Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions. By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. elifesciences.org/inside-elife/5…
We are back with an exciting online program for this autumn and winter season for all brain-body enthusiasts! 📅Tuesdays, 16.00 UK/ 17.00 Central Europe/ 08.00 Pacific/ 11.00 Eastern/ 18.00 Israel/ 20.30 India
Yesterday, I got an email from @DukeU with the eye-catching subject line: "Are you making an expensive mistake?". I opened the email, and it got worse.
The final version of our study seeking to understand how even mild respiratory COVID can affect the brain is now published. Sharing an updated thread… 1/ Mild respiratory COVID can cause multi-lineage neural cell and myelin dysregulation cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
Join us tomorrow for our last BBI seminar of the season with Tony Wyss-Coray!
"The common thread in all of the country’s revolting mass shootings is the absurdly easy access to guns. The science is clear: Restrictions work, and it’s likely that even more limitations would save thousands of lives," fcld.ly/5edg6kv @hholdenthorp #ScienceEditorial.
Thrilled to share our work in the @wysscoray lab in collaboration with @fabiankern13, @ZucheroLab, Andreas Keller and Henrik Zetterberg. We discover a surprising effect of CSF growth factors on oligodendrocyte and memory in the aging hippocampus.nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/13
We’re back in March! Kicking off the new season with a special edition: @RMedzhitov Ruslan Medzhitov PLUS a participatory panel discussion on “Simple Principles of Complex Systems”. Join us on Tuesday March 8th! crowdcast.io/e/brainbody-me…
Very happy to share this work led by Dr. Kelly Cautivo with help from the whole lab and many amazing collaborators. IFNg constrains type 2 lymphocyte 'niche sprawl'. Tweetorial to come (if I can figure it out!) authors.elsevier.com/a/1eYq53qNrUmS…

BREAKING NEWS: The 2021 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded jointly to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian “for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch.”
Excited to share our latest preprint led by killer team @RafaelTaeho and @IliaVainchtein with colleagues from @JeanneTPaz and Chris Glass labs – showing that microglia protect the developing brain from seizures via IL-33, the reshaper of epigenomes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
In a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, astrocytes signal to microglia, which then cluster around disease-associated protein aggregates and help to clear them. Find out more in this excellent N&V by @jerika_barron and @AnnaMolofskyLab go.nature.com/2VCHUKV
