Image 5 of 5: AstrocytER
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a network of membranes through which proteins and other molecules move, is stained within astrocytes, the star shaped supporting brain cells.

Image 4 of 5: Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) - an intracellular journey
APP produces the toxic amyloid beta protein that forms amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found that APP's location in the cell is important for how much amyloid is produced.

New paper by @EdwardAvezov@AvezovL in @CellReports reveals crucial insight into the role of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in suppressing neuronal regeneration in the central nervous system, offering promising treatment strategies for neurodegeneration๐https://t.co/tG8ZH8Sncz
#FluorescenceFriday#cellbiology#bioart@wonderofscience 4D organelle remodeling in dividing HeLa cells. Please expand to see greater detail.
Left: 3D volumes of chromosomes, mitochondria, and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in whole cells.
Middle: Inner details revealed in successive 2 micron thick slabs computationally cut though the cells.
Right: Expanded view in one slab. As the cells progress through division, mitos fragment, ER forms sheets, and mito fragments nestle into ER pockets as both organelles partition into the two daughter cells.
As seen by 4D lattice light sheet microscopy. https://t.co/vpdwTXqrdm
Our new paper modelling #mitochondrial disease in Drosophila is now available. UPR and #ATF4 activation in the brain depends on the severity of mitochondrial complex I loss. https://t.co/n6FgPpBx5Q

Go check out my recent manuscript that we uploaded to @biorxiv_neursci.
We found that the protective variant of PLCG2 expressed by microglia in the brain preserves synaptic integrity independently from amyloid burden in an amyloidosis model of AD. @UKDRI
