Merry Christmas and happy holidays from my lab (@peytonlab ) to yours. No glass mixing rods were harmed in the making of this film

Fondly remembering making gingerbread lab benches for Thermo Fisher Scientific AU last year. My favorite part is the kimi wipes. imnovate.com/marketing-exam… #gingerbreadlabbench #gingerbreadlab

I will admit that serving on Christmas Break cell culture duty for my lab has been a little lonely...particularly while the media is warming But Behold! Let me introduce you to: The Pipette Holster 2020! (Limited edition, patent pending)

During quarantine, Audrey Effenberger and I wrote a review article about our favorite cell type: the oligodendrocyte precursor cell. Check us out at: genesdev.cshlp.org/content/35/3-4…

Latest on OPC multitasking from Tim Czopka's lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Wonder where #oligodendrocytes find energy to make #myelin and provide axons with trophic support? Is glucose sufficient or are other energy sources also required? How about OPCs? My review on oligo #energymetabolism Ʌʗʜʋʗɑɼɼʘ Neurobiology Lab 👇 mdpi.com/1032654

Nikhil Panicker and I, along with Ted and Valina Dawson, wrote a review on the #CellBiology of #Parkinsons Disease, now live at Journal of Cell Biology: We review the functions of monogenic #PD genes and their cell biological pathways of neurodegeneration. 1/7

LRT: Preston Ge et al. have been working on this monumental review for a long time, and the effort has paid off! Incredibly thorough coverage of monogenic PD biology with thoughtful insights for future research on every front. bit.ly/317c3S4

So excited to see some remaining work of my PhD published in Frontiers - Cell Biology today. Another proof that OPCs are not only making oligodendrocytes, but have important functions themselves. frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Feels like it was just yesterday that I was emailing my TFs and preceptors for rec letters... so surreal to be on the other side 🤯 so happy to see my fall undergrads embarking on independent research this summer!!

Excited to share our #SingleCell dissection of human #vasculature with #MyriamHeiman across 17 cell subtypes, human-specific #zonation, vasculature-coupled glia/neurons, and #Huntington's-associated #immune activation and #BBB integrity breakdown. #scBBB biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

iPSC-derived myelinoids to study myelin biology of humans: Developmental Cell cell.com/developmental-…

May not look like much, but my first batch of AD patient iPSC-derived OPCs is shaping up! ✨

The Tsai lab is hiring a full-time research assistant, and I’m on the hiring committee! Please share widely—this job would be perfect for a recent grad looking to gain more research experience before applying to grad school. careers.peopleclick.com/careerscp/clie…

✌️News from the lab- unexpected role for OPCs during cortical development! Mechanistic update coming soon! ⁦carlagomesdasilva⁩ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Another one bites the neurons. Impressive serial EM study of mouse visual cortex during critical period. Oligodendrocyte precursors engulf axons & contain phagolysosomes and neuron-derived RNAs . JoAnn Buchanan da Costa lab Allen Institute biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finally 💉💉 just in time for lab girl summer, wherein I plan to be indoors all day every day.

AAP is open until Nov 15th! Participants can sign up for 1-on-1 mentoring & attend office hours/panels. Our 2nd panel is on Tues Oct 12th (in 2 days), and I'll be there answering q's about molec/cell neuro in BCS :) tinyurl.com/BCS-AAP2021

Happy Halloween #neurotwitter 🎃 (Turns out it's hard to produce a flat photograph of a spherical object.)
