#Crouchlab and friends and family at the @UCSFcmfpm 10 year anniversary celebration 🍾 🎉thrilled to be a part of this #visionary group now w/#clinicaltrials for #inutero therapies. Let’s go for it, for children’s future health 👶🏻👧🏾🧒🏼@UCSFPediatrics @NeoTECaN @UCSFstemcell

[Aparna Bhaduri @BhaduriLab]

Delighted to present our latest preprint on Glioblastoma Neurovascular Progenitors (NVP), which explores how these cells orchestrate tumor cell type diversity. Led by the exceptional @elisa_fazzari! Check it out: https://t.co/QkOifsjnhG

Pleased to post our @NatureProtocols pub profiling human vasculature using transcriptomics and organoids 🧬🧠🧫. https://t.co/yUGwXoNNTD Building off previous work in 🐭brain, we describe human specific procedures for #flowcytometry #neurovascular #organoids & #transcriptomics

Our work on human fetal brain haemorrhage and SARS-CoV-2 is out in @Brain1878! We show that cortical haemorrhages in the fetal brain are associated with the presence of SARS-CoV-2, reduced blood vessel integrity and increased immune cell infiltration https://t.co/yYTpbBMaeu 1/3

Join us on Thursday, January 19 1PM EST for our next Journal Club!

Loukas Diafos @ldiafos will discuss the paper co-authored with Dr. @elizabetscrouch “Ensembles of endothelial and mural cells promote angiogenesis in prenatal human brain”

In new Cell study, @ElizabetsCrouch & @UCSF colleagues are first to show how blood vessels develop in the prenatal human brain, paving way to understand the cells’ role in health brain development & disease.

Beyond excited to be sharing this! Such a great experience working on this paper with some amazing scientists and people

[Elizabeth Crouch, MD/PhD @ElizabetsCrouch]

Pleased to announce our paper @CellCellPress describing the #endothelial and #mural cells in the prenatal human brain is out today https://t.co/LMOQkvfrCP 🧵to follow

[Edward Valenzuela, MSc @EdwardV_MSc]

I'm blessed to have been a part of this special moment with my PI and team. A bit of bubbly and pizza to celebrate the acceptance of our lab's most recent manuscript submission. Congratulations to @ElizabetsCrouch and everyone involved! @LDiafos @Scientist_Jan @kwp_futuremdphd

When you are not sure what the code does but assume it must be important so you just leave it

[Elizabeth Crouch, MD/PhD @ElizabetsCrouch]

Thrilled to celebrate @kwp_futuremdphd who was awarded an @American_Heart Diversity supplement AND had a birthday last week! Can’t wait to see those experiment results. With @LDiafos @edward_jvt @sneha_arao at @stem_at

[Elizabeth Crouch, MD/PhD @ElizabetsCrouch]

Early morning from the west coast @czbiohub spatial transcriptomics summit talking about standardization, best practices, and what’s missing. Thanks @BhaduriLab and @LabNowakowski for your excellent moderating.

[Elizabeth Crouch, MD/PhD @ElizabetsCrouch]

Happy holidays from the Crouch and Huang labs! @LDiafos

Severe Covid and the #brain: infection can induce "string vessels" in patients due to death of endothelial cells (lining blood vessels), signifying microvascular damage, verified in experimental models

People have long thought that astrocytes release something that kills neurons, which could partly explain why neurons die in injury/neurodegenerative disease. In a paper that just came out, we think we found one of these long-sought toxic factors! (1/8) https://t.co/QlYp0smM6Q
