We're excited to launch the Institute for Glial Sciences at Case Western Reserve University! Directed by Paul Tesar, it will advance research on glial cells and their role in diseases like MS, Alzheimer’s, autism, and Parkinson’s.

Common household chemicals pose a risk to the brain’s myelinating cells

Thrilled to share groundbreaking findings from our latest study led by @ErinFCohn at @CWRUSOM's Institute for Glial Sciences, in collaboration with the U.S. @EPA.

[Quanta Magazine @QuantaMagazine]

The nervous system in your gut helps with much more than digestion. New research methods have provided a glimpse into a world of tasks performed by glial cells, which are not as boring as some biologists once thought. @yasemin_sap reports: https://t.co/kRsIR6aDQk

[New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute @nyscf]

Learn how NYSCF Innovators @MarissaScavuzzo and @TesarLab of @cwru are getting to the bottom of a long-neglected group of nervous system cells called glia, and the exciting successes they've seen in this work: https://t.co/t7M1tyrnWJ

@TesarLab @marissascavuzzo @ScienceMagazine The superest of stars! 🤩

[Paul Tesar @TesarLab]

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!

@marissascavuzzo spreading the good enteric glial word!!

[New York Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute @nyscf]

Thank you to everyone for an amazing display of #stemcell science at last night’s poster session! This year we had a record number of submissions and the presentations were stellar. Congratulations to our winner Michael Fernando & runner up Marissa Scavuzzo

Love this rockstar team 💪

[Rise Up Northeast Ohio @riseupneo]

Some Polaroids from our journal release celebration showing mentors and students come together and get hard copies of JoYS to bring home! #JustPublished #STEM #CMSD #Cleveland

[William Wulftange @WWulftange]

The first issue from @riseupneo is out! The Journal of Young Scientists (JoYS) allows high school students in the Cleveland Metropolitan area to publish the results of their experiments with the RiseUp program. It was such a ~joy~ seeing these young students get exposure to science and research... I think we convinced some of them to pursue careers in biomedical research 🔬🧫🦠

[Rise Up Northeast Ohio @riseupneo]

Students in @CLEMetroSchools are getting back into the classroom and we are excited to partner with Lincoln-West School of Science and Health! To learn more about becoming a teaching partner, volunteering, or ways to support us you can visit our website https://t.co/pjmxGLZ5EH.

[Kate Letai @KateLetai]

We love meeting future scientists!!! So much fun working with @ODA_CLE and @riseupneo 🧪🔬

[Paul Tesar @TesarLab]

📢 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.

It has been SO much fun to jump into the world of enteric glia with @marissascavuzzo 💩 Grab a snack and read up on what happens when you eat up!
