New paper in Science Magazine this week from Chen-Lab @ BU and allen institute on combining in vivo Ca imaging with subsequent multiplexed FISH! New technique sorts out what different kinds of neurons do in the brain alleninstitute.org/what-we-do/bra…

Fluorescent biosensors reveal the dynamics of life, but *quantitative* biosensing only works in transparent single cells... until now! andrewgyork.github.io/relaxation_sen… Maria del Mar Ingaramo figured out how to take robust quantitative measurements with fluorescent biosensors, in whole animals.

The Sun Lab! We study Oligodendrocyte maturation and their role in neurodegenerative diseases❤️‍🔥 love this creative, brilliant bunch

Choi lab is officially open! We are recruiting graduate students, postdocs, and research technicians. Come join our brand new lab to study somatosensory pathways!

Starting early the morning at #cshlglia2022 with new friends Jing-Ping Lin, Payton Reynolds, Larissa Jank and Michael Reitman. Ready for the day! #GliaRules

Ben Barres was a trailblazing neuroscientist, a dedicated mentor, and a tireless supporter of women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQI+. He was a hero to many of us. Now, his inspiring life story is becoming a movie. Please consider supporting their Kickstarter campaign.

How is oligodendrocyte number controlled across diverse brain regions? Our preprint showed that autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved cellular process that promotes cell survival under canonical settings, collaborates with apoptosis pathways to kill premyelinating oligos (1/n).

My first-author paper during postdoc is on bioRxiv now, thanks to everyone that made it come true. （Stuck in the revision process, fingers crossed…)

We are grateful for the support from @KlingensteinOrg UT Southwestern O'Donnell Brain Institute @UTSWNews Mol Biology Dept UTSW that allows us to create new reagents and methods to tackle important questions in the field. This recognition goes to my amazing crew members.

Who wants their recent biorxiv paper to be reviewed during my UTSW Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences core course "writing and reading scientific papers"? I need ideas! The students will come up with improvements that we will share (if you are interested). Highly recommended!
