it was always dumb to talk about killing so called zombie cells in the context of healthy aging

Our study is out in @ScienceMagazine! It shows that CAR-expressing astrocytes (CAR-A) can recognize and clear amyloid aggregates, reducing pathology and restoring microglial homeostasis in AD models.
Led by Yun Chen, Alex Liu and @khainotkaiorky!

The CA1 has more than 'superficial' and 'deep' cell type layers! 🐭🧠🧬

Check out the thread from my PhD student and first-author @mc_pachicano describing the results in our new paper published today in @NatureComms!

Just out! “The astrocytic ensemble acts as a multiday trace to stabilize memory.” We identified astrocytic ensembles that link experiences across days to stabilize memory https://t.co/po9zIlZvPb. New astrocyte tools are openly available at Addgene: https://t.co/OXCmcYSleI. 1/8

Don’t believe everything you think!

What happens when we confuse our mental shortcuts with reality? Why we excuse ourselves but blame others. And why we don’t realise we’re making life harder for ourselves.
