Check out our review in @FrontImmunol, where we take a look on what we know about the correlation between microglial function and shape (a.k.a microglial morphophysiology), covering different microglial morphologies and their reported function https://t.co/HZzCCdNGrq

Is a ramified #microglia, a resting microglia? 🤔

[Andrés Vidal-Itriago @vidalitriago]

We also discuss why the ramified/amoeboid paradigm is outdated, and why we should reconsider the “resting/activated” nomeclature when talking about different microglial morphologies.

We've developed smartphone fluorescence microscopes, aka Glowscopes. A few simple and inexpensive components convert your smartphone into a basic fluorescence microscope. 1/n

@kjrobinson_MQ Congratulations Katie! 👏🏻

@london_glia Can’t send DM, but I would love to attend this meeting virtually 😃

[Andrés Vidal-Itriago @vidalitriago]

@SierraLabAch @SSRN @CellPressNews Totally agree, such narrow classification for such a diverse cell population. Congrats!

[Amanda Sierra @SierraLabAch]

Check out our pre-print!
No more "activated microglia" please😆🤪.
I mean it.
And no more "M1/M2" nonsense either☠☠☠.
