Loss of Cofilin1/ADF in microglia causes a largely reduced ramification, enormous accumulation of #actin filaments, and completely inhibits their migration towards brain injury sites. Very cool preprint by the Fuhrmann lab @MaFuh55 https://t.co/6Llv0nuBGy
After setting the American Record in the Marathon, the thing I am most excited about is some girl/woman saw it and thought, ‘I can do that.’ I know they will… and I’ll be rooting for them.
Where and what a neuronal branch initiates from strongly predicts how long it is maintained.
New paper out @J_Cell_Sci !

Save the date for my presentation on #Alzheimers and #nutrition@WisskommKaffee in September!
Join me on a journey through an #Alzheimers disease #brain and learn about the potential effects of our everyday food intake!

“Nobody expected them to be inside the ventricular system and attached to the wall of the ventricle, and so nobody had ever looked there before.” —Fiona Doetsch, University of Basel (@biozentrum) https://t.co/G68ziwb1pZ
New Preprint!
Not all branches seem to be created equal: Filopodia initiate long-lived branches while branches from other precursors collapse soon. The precursors seem to initiate distinct maintenance mechanisms affecting branch stability hours later:

New Paper!
In continuation of our previous work identifying Drebrin as a safeguard against synaptic dysfunction, we show here that Drebrin protects against seizure like events during pathological conditions.
Great collaboration with the Gerevich lab https://t.co/Z1iOWaisX7
Drebrin is needed to switch #actin homeostasis from #ARP2/3-dependent arrays to #microtubule-compatible scaffolds. This in turn allows the formation of #Rab8 tubules that transport #receptors and #adhesion mediators such as #integrin ß1 which eventually control #astrogliosis(6/6)
Just registered for #glia2021! You're still in time to submit an abstract- submission ends today! Looking forward to the conference, hopefully vaccinated and in Marseille!

Calling all neuroscientists 🧠 We’ve just published an easy-to-access neuroscience ‘icon pack’!
Here's a look at some of our favourites.
