So excited to see my thesis work in the @TesarLab featured on the cover of Nature Neuroscience! A huge thanks to everyone who supported and collaborated including @Ella_Maru for her artwork!
New and worrisome: common household chemicals can directly harm oligodendrocytes, brain health

@NatureNeuro@TesarLab@CWRUSOM Quarternary ammonium compounds (disinfectants) and organophosphate flame retardants implicated from organoids and expt'l models
Two classes of chemicals that are found in some disinfectants and flame retardants could impair the development of oligodendrocytes—a type of supporting cell in the brain—according to laboratory experiments reported in @NatureNeuro. https://t.co/spklZOam21
Congrats to superstar postdoc @marissascavuzzo on winning the 2023 Eppendorf & @ScienceMagazine Prize for Neurobiology for her work on how enteric glial cells regulate digestion. So proud of you!

🎉 Congrats to Marissa Scavuzzo (@marissascavuzzo), one of our #HannaGrayFellows, who has won the 2023 Eppendorf & @ScienceMagazine Prize for Neurobiology for her research in how glial cells in the intestine's nervous system operate! Learn more: https://t.co/EsQuzpdY4U
Excited to be in Boston for #ISSCR2023. Tesar Lab members Erin Cohn (@ErinFCohn) and Kevin Allan (@kevbot1992) are presenting posters that showcase the use of stem cell tools to understand glial cells in the brain🧠. Please stop by Thursday👋!

📢 Preprint alert! 🚨 Superstar postdoc, @marissascavuzzo, leads our latest work titled "Enteric glial hub cells coordinate intestinal motility".
Marissa is a @HHMInews Hanna Gray Fellow and a former @NYSCF Druckenmiller Fellow.

Meet Andrew Scavuzzo, our new Executive Director!
Andrew grew up in Northeast Ohio and cares deeply about equity in education. He is an advocate for the public school system and hopes for a future where all students receive equal access to educational opportunities. 1/🧵
Excited to share a new @biorxivpreprint "Pervasive environmental chemicals impair oligodendrocyte development" led by a superb MD/PhD @CWRUmstp student, Erin Cohn @ErinFCohn. We appreciate all feedback on this surprising (and sorta scary 😱) study.

3 MD/PhD students representing @TesarLab at #SfN2022. Reach out to chat glia! @SfNtweets#SfN22@ErinFCohn: environmental chemicals impair oligodendrocyte development (Poster 193.06/C57, 13Nov 2-3pm)
@KateLetai: glia in cancer
@zhan_solo (Jesse Zhan): glial circadian biology
As a med student, it’s hard to feel like I’m making an impact on patient care… But last week a patient couldn’t get a life saving drug we prescribed because the copay was $1700/mo and I showed the team @costplusdrugs where the drug was $112/mo, which he could afford!
Happy to share I've received an @mssociety career transition award. Excited to join the NMSS community and grateful for their support of my work with @TesarLab and as a future PI, where we'll continue to find ways to regulate glia and promote repair in MS. https://t.co/cBZTzCsvWT
