Some photos from Thursday's New Fellows Lectures The Crick! Alex and Sally had a wonderful time listening to the talks from Rickie Patani and James Lee and formally awarding them their Lister Prize.

🚨 New blog alert! 🚨 Head over to the blog to hear about the latest research on astrocytes in #MND/#ALS from the PataniLab and Doaa M Taha. Including how astrocytes can look different from one person with MND to the next. Read more here ⬇ mndresearch.blog/2022/02/02/wri…

Awesome to see our paper out in Nature today, with an accompanying News and Views article. We've added a load of new data since our BioRxiv paper, including some fancy Nanopore long read sequencing. Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4158… and here: nature.com/articles/d4158…

I'm dusting off the trainers and running the Paris marathon in April. Raising money for 2 fantastic charities: MND Association and Royal Trinity Hospice. See below for more details (1/3) Link: justgiving.com/team/benclarke

Our latest review just out in Brain: 'The role of astrocytes in prion-like mechanisms of neurodegeneration'. Great effort by Phillip Smethurst Dr Hannah Franklin Ben Clarke and a great collaboration with Dr Katie Sidle.

Rickie Patani, GilesHardingham, and I wrote a review on astrocytes in neuroinflammation & neurodegeneration for Nat Rev Neurology lots still unknown, but it's clear combinatorial in vitro, in vivo, and cross-species approaches are needed moving forward rdcu.be/deltN

Ever wondered why astrocyte subtypes have such diverse & dynamic shapes? 🟢🟦🔶 and how this could impact their function? Come to my Kelly O'Toole poster from 1:30pm TODAY to learn what I’ve found out about astrocyte shape-function relationships, T10-008A! #glia2023 #euroglia

At #Euroglia #glia2023 and interested in iPSC microglia and/or ALS? Even if the answer is no, come by my poster T05-010A this afternoon for a chat!

Very pleased to be at #glia2023, #gliameeting, if you want to know more about astrocyte reactivity and RNA binding proteins, come this afternoon to my poster T16-052A

#AstrocyteCafe first social gathering in Berlin was amazing. THANKS TO EVERYONE who came and who supported AstrocyteCafe during this past year.

We don’t want to FORCE you, but our very own Ludovica Guetta is presenting her poster on how mechanical forces control astrocyte reactivity, shape and function ⚡️⚙️⭐️ and you really don’t want to miss it! Her poster is TODAY, T04-001B at #euroglia #glia2023 see you there!
