The gylmphatics of our brain, which clear waste products, interact with our immune system and are key to preserving brain health, modulating its aging process, and propensity for neurodegenerative diseases A superb review Jonathan Kipnis 💔🎗️ Immunity cell.com/immunity/fullt…

By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis, and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion. elifesciences.org/articles/10655…

STEM graduate programs must radically rethink science communication training. It’s no longer enough to just present at scientific conferences - students must learn to engage the public effectively, counter misinformation, and confront conspiracy theories head-on.

Microbes in the gut and other body locations can influence cancer development, progression, and response to treatment. This Review summarizes current evidence regarding the human microbiome and cancer. ja.ma/3Svwdjl

Astrocytes have long been conceived as passive support player cells in the brain. But today Science Magazine (via 3 reports) they got a big upgrade for their active role in neuromodulation and control of brain function science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We are seeking a postdoc to work on glia/neuron crosstalk in health, disease, and aging using C. elegans as a model system. We are particularly interested in individuals with experience in C. elegans or imaging techniques. Email: [email protected] #glia #ionchannels #aging
