@willaise is an awesome scientist (and person and father!). Profound findings and lots to follow up on! Congrats!
My fav finding: transplanting healthy immune cells reduces pathology in other diseased host cells. How does fixing ~10% of the brain help the other 90%?!
Thrilled to share our published @eLife paper "Inflammasomes primarily restrict cytosolic Salmonella replication within human macrophages" by 1st author Dr. @Marisa_Egan11 (@CAMBUpenn alum, now an Assistant Professor at @swarthmore Biology)! 🧵(1/n) https://t.co/lzaWtJXM3c

Trainee Tuesday!! Join us every Tuesday to meet the rising stars in Neurotrauma research 💫
Introducing Mia Pacheco, an outstanding NNS trainee!
Mia won the Michael Goldberger Award at the 2024 National Neurotrauma Symposium for her impactful contributions to spinal cord injury research. Mia also serves on the NNS Planning Committee, and volunteers with the NNS Local Scholars Program.
Congratulations on your research and thank you for your service to the society! 🏆🧠 @mia_rayne@TAMUNeuro@TAMU_Biology
Congratulations to @efeierman (@korblab/ @PennNGG) & Katherine Alexander (@berger_lab/ @PennCDB), recipients of the 2024 Kaushal Family Awards in Genetics! A ceremony with presentations by the recipients will take place on 10/25 at 1pm in the CRB Austrian Auditorium @PennGenetics
Happy Birthday Ben! Today would’ve been his 70th birthday. A renowned scientist who changed the way we see glia cells and the brain and a wonderful friend and advocate, Ben was an inspiration to us all. #neuroscience#glia#advocateforwomeninStem#TransRightsAreHumanRights

Biggest medical discoveries of the week (🧵)
1/10
Spinal cord injury triggers activation of T cells, inflammation, and death of neurons
Editing the T cell receptor, using mRNA, suppressed this, and helped recovery from the injury (in mice!)

Excited to announce the launch of the Center for Microbial Medicine @CHOP_Research! This new translational Center of Emphasis at CHOP will be dedicated to finding cures and improving pediatric health through the lens of the microbiome https://t.co/R0qM3sR6hs
Welcome to all of our Glia in Health & Disease participants! Make sure to use #cshlglia for all your posts 🦠
A special thank you to the organizers @LiddelowSA@SchaferLabUMass
Looking forward to a great week!
interested in knowing what glia cells will be discussed at #CSHLGlia@cshlmeetings next week?
here is a breakdown \\
take homes:
1. astro, oligo, micro make up most of the community
2. we pushed hard to have extra peripheral glia in the oral presentations
3. 5 SLEEPS!
