Amazing 1st day at @IVBM2024 in Amsterdam. If you are interested in brain pericytes come to my poster (20.393) tomorrow :).

It is our great pleasure to introduce you to our newest full-time lab member, *Louis the duck* 🐥
He is already working hard in the lab, a great teammate! 😄

Our latest work is out on BioRxiv 🤩
If you're interested in pericytes, cell migration on patterns or physical modeling, this one is for you !

Happy 3-year anniversary to us! 🎉🥳🤩

[Montagne Lab @MontagneLab]

Exciting times in the lab! 🤩
@DStefancova and our stellar team of scientists are uncovering the impact of CNS capillary pericyte loss on vascular and brain functions in mice 🐭🧲🧠
Exciting data is in the works and coming your way soon, stay tuned! 😃

I kicked off #16DaysOfActivism in Slovakia by discussing gender-based violence with high school students. Empowering girls & boys to become agents of change, build healthy relationships, recognize and tackle online or physical psychological and sexual abuse in their relationships is crucial to #EndViolenceAgainstWomen.

Let’s bring together women & men from different parts of our society, including education, culture, healthcare, public services but also diplomacy to join forces and work together to end gender-based violence.

Dementia can affect anyone. It doesn’t discriminate.

This Christmas, @stephenfry helps us tell a story of what Christmas would be like if Santa had Alzheimer’s, the most common cause of dementia.

Together we can end the heartbreak of dementia. Share #ForACure.

My first #FluorescenceFriday is a glimpse into the vasculature of an adult zebrafish 🧠 with blood vessels labelled in red and pericytes in cyan.

[UK Dementia Research Institute @UKDRI]

Fantastic session on resilience in research from @sj_marzi, @isaacs_adrian & @maketimecountuk👏

Some super useful nuggets of advice on how to deal with failure & cultivate resilience🙌

[Conor McQuaid @Conasaurus1]

In beautiful Brighton for this year's #connectome with @UKDRI and most of the @MontagneLab lab
Come see out posters with @DStefancova and myself :)

You nailed it @DanyJaimeGarcia 👏🏻🤩

It took a wee bit more time than expected 😉 but the end result is worth it, an unique and very useful piece for the vascular aficionados out there! 🧠😍
