We are delighted to announce our scientific programme for #glia2025! Get to know our fantastic plenary speakers loom.ly/inxreIc and have a look at next year's symposia and workshops loom.ly/GFaysH0 We cannot wait to welcome the #gliacommunity in #Marseille!

The newly launched journal "Glial Health Research" would be excited to receive your manuscripts! publication fees are fully waived until April 2026!

I currently feel that!

Early Career Researchers (ECRs) are the future of MS Research. Professor Anna Williams tells us 7 things we should know about ECRs and how important it is to support their innovative work. ➡️ MS HISTORY MAKERS: mssoc.uk/4gCtYWc

Check out this fantastic work from Lena Spieth Stefan Berghoff and others! A new role for microglia and APOE in plaque seeding in AD. And I am glad I was able to help a bit.

Interested in what happens with glia in Huntington's disease? Check out this new publication.

It was a great pleasure to host Goncalo Castelo-Branco GonçaloCasteloBranco today at our TRR274 seminar today. Lots of interesting techniques and data!

The first paper of the Jäkel lab is published! Are you working with post-mortem brain tissue and want to detect RNA in FFPE tissue? Then you should consider the fixation time before your experiment. Nice collaboration with Sabine Liebscher doi.org/10.1093/brainc…

Positive #MS research news just before Christmas! A team co-led by @AnnaWilliamsLab has published gene expression findings from post-mortem samples that separate MS brain samples into 4 groups. Paves the way for personalised treatments. More at annerowlingclinic.org/about/news/ms-…

So glad to see this work finally out. A huge collaborative effort, and besides the biological findings, also a brilliant resource. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Neuroinflammation in Alzheimer disease: I feel very privileged to have contributed to this excellent review led by Prof. Michael Heneka together with other leading experts in the field. nature.com/articles/s4157…

Did you ever wonder about the role of oligodendrocytes in Parkinson's disease? Check out our new unsolved mysteries article together with Burbulla Lab - and be certain that this topic is just at the beginning of being explored! journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

So happy to be involved in this project. Very important work linking amyloid and tau pathology. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Today marks a special day in my career - I received the official document that as of February, I will be a professor at TU in Munich. There are certainly many people who supported me all along the way to achieve this goal. I am really looking forward to the next steps.

Our new pipeline is out! In this work we detail an ex vivo versatile platform for assessing myelin dynamics of hiPSC oligodendroglia. 🔗 Check it out STAR Protocols: doi.org/10.1016/j.xpro… Huge thanks to my mentor Erin Gibson and collaborators @LidaZoupi and @AnnaWilliamsLab!

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/gl… Our paper is now out in GLIA! Excellent work led by Vidya Ramesh and supported by SIDB. Thank you to everyone involved, especially to Eleni Tsoukala Ioanna Kougianou @odando Zrinko Kozić

Hurler et al. report that fixation times affect mRNA detection in post-mortem human brain tissue, highlighting the need for standardised protocols to ensure reliable and comparable results in mRNA studies. Read at:buff.ly/4hSYhYA Sarah Jäkel #mRNA #neuroscience

Excited 2 be in Marseille for our symposium on understanding human oligodendroglia: a lifespan perspective at #GLIA2025. Join the brilliant GonçaloCasteloBranco, Sarah Jäkel, Nina Kazakou, Sunniva Bøstrand and myself. We are presenting exciting human data generated with 10x Genomics.

Really emjoyed our session yesterday afternoon at #GLIA2025 on oligodendrocytes with Luise Seeker GonçaloCasteloBranco and others. We had a brilliant discussion aftwrwards. The glia community is always great!

Working part time as a parent in certain positions is probably the biggest scam. You are still expected to do the same amount of work in less time for less money.
