For centuries we've had anatomical maps of how the body's organs are connected, but what would a diagram of the immune system’s connections look like? In nature we report our initiative to map the "interactome" that links human immune cells together (1/14)nature.com/articles/s4158…

🚨New paper! Neuropathology in chronic traumatic encephalopathy: a systematic review of comparative post-mortem histology literature tinyurl.com/5fwuwcsf It's a hefty read, so we summarised the data in an interactive Tableau Public visualisation tinyurl.com/hkzcrcpb

Excited to share our paper on the overexpression of OATPs in human #glioblastoma tissue. Super proud of this work, a wee lockdown project, lots of learning and I couldn’t have done it without our incredible co-authors, especially Zoe Woolf and Molly Swanson 🙌 1/6

It’s been an exciting week here, very pleased to also share our paper elucidating the cellular uptake mechanisms of heptamethine cyanine dye analogues for their use as an anticancer drug-carrier molecule for the treatment of glioblastoma onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cb… 1/4

Happy to share my latest publication. Human pericytes degrade diverse α-synuclein aggregates. #PLOSONE #Parkinsons #synuclein thanks to everyone involved from the Dierikslab.com and beyond Blake Highet Taylor Stevenson dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

It's official, 2022 was Aotearoa New Zealand’s warmest year on record, again 🤒 Mother Nature is running a fever & it's not getting better. niwa.co.nz/climate/summar… 🧵 on the 22 things you should know about 2022, through the eyes of @niwa_nz's climate scientists

Our latest publication: Wrapping up the role of pericytes in Parkinson’s disease. Here we highlight the importance and versatility of this cell type by discussing the lesser-known endocytic and phagocytic capabilities of pericytes in Parkinson's disease. bit.ly/3JA8oSL

I presented an IMAX movie called Fungi: Web of Life, narrated by Björk who speaks the story with inimitable magic and sensitivity. It features astonishing fungal time lapse photography from some of the best fungal photographers working today. Full trailer: youtu.be/YCf7YywIBZ8

Another important role for the meningeal lymphatic system. Check out our preview of the recent work from Jian-Fu Chen in todays issue of Cell Stem Cell on lymphatics in craniosynostosis. cell.com/cell-stem-cell… Taylor Stevenson Kate

I am excited to share our latest research on the arachnoid barrier, a crucial yet poorly understood structure that partitions the CNS and the dura, out today nature. We discovered that gaps in this barrier allow communication between the CNS and the dura. nature.com/articles/s4158…

ECM remodeling occurs in the meninges during aging and following CNS trauma. In our latest work, led by Kate and Taylor Stevenson, we show how this ECM remodeling contributes to the meningeal lymphatic drainage deficits seen in these conditions. tinyurl.com/572ypyas
