We are excited to present our most recent preprint, outlining gene expression differences and functionality of mesoderm and neural crest iPSC-derived pericytes (iPericytes) in comparison to human brain vascular pericytes (HBVPs) biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/3)

📢 Exciting news - my latest preprint exploring the impacts of pericyte ablation on behaviour and brain health is out! 🧠🩸🐭 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Brad Sutherland Young Glial Research Team Pericytes 🟣 Vessels 🟢 #pericytes #neuroscience (1/3)

Sometimes #pericyte cell culture can get #spooky. Is this #perinormal activity? #HappyHalloween 🎃💀 perivascular.org/our-team Brad Sutherland Natalie King Jo-Maree Courtney Dr. Jake Cashion

Fabulous talk by Brad Sutherland at Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) 2023 in #Brisbane about #pericytes and #microglia in health and disease. University of Tasmania TSoM Public Health

We look forward to starting work on our NHMRC Ideas grant with Dr Jessica L. Fletcher, Nicholas Blackburn, Brad Sutherland and Bruestle Lab. Together we will find out how MS-associated genetic variants alter brain cell function.

Delighted to be awarded an NHMRC Ideas grant investigating pericytes, microglia and blood vessel breakdown in Alzheimer's Disease. Looking forward to working with Gary Morris, Jenna Ziebell and De Luca's Group and collaborators on this exciting project. UTAS Medical Sciences WickingDementiaCentre

📢Our lab balbilab.com at Queensland Brain Institute, UQ is looking for a PhD student interested in brain oscillations and their intricate role in restoring function after stroke. Lots of cool techniques such as in vivo electrophysiology and imaging in🐭. Info: study.uq.edu.au/study-options/…

Our latest publication was just released in Stem Cell Research and Therapy, showing gene expression and functional differences between neural crest and mesoderm iPSC-derived pericytes (iPericytes). Check it out here: doi.org/10.1186/s13287…

1/ 🔥 Exciting findings from our collaboration between University of Tasmania, @SeattleChildrens, and University of Copenhagen! We've discovered a new way #microglia interact with 🧠 vasculature, which could reshape our understanding of their role in #brain health and disease. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our new work on how microglia interact with the vasculature through astrocyte end feet using the Allen Institute #MICrONS cortical mm^3 dataset! Had a great time working with @Gazz4_Science, Brad Sutherland and Søren Grubb to produce this work!

Excited to share our new preprint showing that the #mTOR inhibitor #rapamycin (Sirolimus) can reduce #brain #pericyte constriction following ischemia in vitro and #MCAO #stroke in vivo. biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

Numerous pharmacological studies modulating pericyte contraction are currently being published! 👀 This interesting bioRxiv shows that #Rapamycin (#mTOR inhibition) relaxes #pericytes, mitigating capillary dysfunction after stroke reperfusion 🧠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am pleased to launch the Multiple Sclerosis Centre of Research Excellence, funded by the NHMRC. I look forward to working with Bruce Taylor, Dr William Reay , Ingrid van der Mei, Yuan Zhou , Brad Sutherland , Jake Gratten, Natasha Stevens , Leonid Churilov & Chris Gumley

1/4 We are thrilled to announce that our 🌍 collaboration has resulted in a paper in JCBFM. @Gazz4_Science Catherine Foster Brad Sutherland University of Tasmania @SeattleChildrens University of Copenhagen doi.org/10.1177/027167…

Excited to share that our work showing the #mTOR inhibitor #rapamycin (Sirolimus) can reduce #brain #pericyte constriction following #stroke, is now published in Translational Stroke Research! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our new paper published in BrainBehavImm shows ablating pericytes in mice causes hypoactivity🏃, motor impairment, vessel dysfunction🩸, and widespread gliosis🌟. Another reminder of how important pericytes are for brain function. Brad Sutherland Young Glial Research Team (1/3)

🧠🔬 Exciting #HotTopic: microglial "plugs" found at blood vessel contacts in the brain! This opens a new path to understand how microglia interact with the vasculature in health and disease. Don't miss it: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… #JCBFMhome #ISCBFM #BrainResearch
