Do you love Science? I made it my job! As a neuroscientist, I explore how vascular impairment in the aging brain triggers neurodegenerative diseases.

Myelin dance! White matter tracts - highways of the brain - are revealed in green in this 3D rendering of a fractional anisotropy map of the mouse #brain. On our way to create an atlas of these for our #MRI registration pipeline! Montagne Lab

Ghosts? No, vascular spectra! These density maps show how ageing affects vascular structure in the mouse #brain. Pericyte coverage is decreased and the vascular diameter slightly increased. Soon in our VasOMatic preprint! Montagne Lab

Prior work claimed that blocking dural lymphatic vessels could help treat #MultipleSclerosis and other CNS autoimmune diseases. Yet, a new University of Helsinki study in mice found that doing so yielded no notable change in symptoms or pathology. scim.ag/2hA

I had no idea for #FluorescenceFriday this week so I asked an AI (Craiyon) to draw me some cells. Well, it failed being scientifically correct but it accurately depicts the charming eeriness of the microscopic world. See you next week for real images from the Montagne Lab!

Does nasal pericytes play a role in brain waste clearance? @Montagnelab may nose it out soon! In mouse, half of the cerebrospinal fluid drains in the nasal mucosa, where it joins the lymphatics. Here for #FluorescenceFriday we present an image of nasal turbinates in mouse.

Arteriole, capillaries, venule - the three elements of microvasculature, ready for the show of #FluorescenceFriday ! Note how the cyan nuclei of arteries (left) are more elongated than those of venules (right), a useful tip when working at Montagne Lab !

Are they collapsed capillaries, bridging cells or tunelling nanotubes? In Montagne Lab we explore these strange advascular structures with innovative tools! Join us at @UU_University for CVB 2023 and discover more on my poster!

Spotted! If you have an eye for detail, you too might have encountered these 'bridges' of extracellular matrix hanging between two vessels. Do you want to know more? Stay tuned, Montagne Lab is on the go! We will present our findings at CVB 2023 in Uppsala!

A tightrope-walking cell? Embedded in vascular basement membrane, this bridging pericyte do the splits between two capillaries. Was it orphaned from its mother vessel or on the move to reach new horizons? At Montagne Lab, we're aiming to uncover it!

Is postdoc career optimism on the rise? Results from nature's first global survey of postdocs are published in this article, & postdocs including Dr. Audrey Chagnot (UK DRI at Edinburgh) share their experience ⬇️ ⬇️ buff.ly/3QdlU3j

Did you know that connexins roles extend beyond the gap (junctions) and are implied in the metabolic homeostasis of blood-brain barrier? Have look at our preview of Zhan, Meng et al.'s exciting study published in Neuron! authors.elsevier.com/c/1i5aX3BtfH5N… Montagne Lab
