Very excited and proud to share this preprint from AMAZING scientist Shiyi Wang and colleagues, pinpointing a novel role for an astrocytic mechanism in Parkinson's Disease (PD) pathogenesis. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very excited to share this work in collaboration with UW Bioengineering, Duke University School of Medicine and UNC School of Medicine. Reactivation kinetics of single T-lymphocytes were tracked over time by an automated microarray followed by sorting and single-cell RNA-sequencing to examine transcriptional heterogeneity.

Are you interested in what #astrocytes do in the context of synapses and white matter of the 🧠? We wrote a review for that! You can read the open access version here: nyaspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ny…

Why is age the main risk for Alzheimer’s disease? Mouse models reveal that the loss of myelin integrity is causally linked to enhanced plaque deposition. Great work by ⁦Dr. Constanze Depp⁩, ⁦@TingSun_MPINAT⁩ et al. in Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

New preprint alert!🚨 We present SynBot, an image analysis tool for quantifying synaptic colocalization in fluorescence microscopy images. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

SynBot preprint is out!!! Do you want to quantify synapses from immunohistochemistry images accurately and benefit from the advances in machine learning! Check it out! Open access software on GitHub, and all protocols are on protocols.io! Congrats to Justin Savage and co!

Such an exciting new tool from our lab!! 🎉🎉 Congrats Justin Savage!!

SHOUT-OUT to my lab’s outstanding PhD student Arinze Arinze Emmanuel Okafor and postdoc fellow Dr. Xin Lin for co-leading this study! We are a group of very proud CELL BIOLOGISTS!

Our new paper on the role of the parafascicular thalamic nucleus. Congrats to first author Isabella Fallon. cell.com/current-biolog…

Incredible 3D visualization of a human embryo in the fifth week of life. Note the tail and fishlike appearance. All vertebrate embryos look roughly like this; we start from the same place, then diverge as we develop. Humans are modified fish. dmdd.org.uk/stacklist/huma…

Hot off the preprint press exciting new study in close collaboration with Yin lab lab. How do Thrombospondins 1 and 2 control behaviors?biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. BY fantastic Oluwadamilola Lawal, who will be flying off the nest to start his postdoc next week.
