The 2nd annual London Glia Community Symposium is coming up next month! It will feature some fascinating talks & poster presentations emphasizing the wide range of glia research carried out in London🧠 📅 31 Oct 🌐 The Francis Crick Institute (& online) ✍️ Abstract deadline: 8 Sept buff.ly/3PrdgxA

Can synapse loss sometimes be good in #alzheimersdisease? New data suggest that selective synaptic pruning early in disease dampens overactive neuronal circuits. Gladstone Institutes UCL The University of Edinburgh UK Dementia Research Institute ow.ly/J7f850PJyVH

💉 Sebastiaan De Schepper of Soyon Hong from UCL explored the intriguing connection between gut #macrophages and brain neuropathology in #ParkinsonsDisease. A testament to the #GutBrainAxis’s significance! #NGI2023


Thanks for the highlight Alzforum! Amazing parallel studies w/ the formidable Lennart Mucke & his team & our UK Dementia Research Institute family Makis Tzioras, Mike Daniels & Prof Tara Spires-Jones! 😘 so proud of this work led by Javier Rueda Carrasco Dimitra Sokolova & Sang-Eun Lee. 🎉🎉🎊🎊

Neuroimmune interactions in neurodegeneration is an important area of research for the UK DRI. It was great to hear from Dimitra Sokolova, @w_mcewan, McColl Lab Edinburgh & all the excellent flash speakers in this session at #Connectome2023 chaired by Dr Wioleta Zelek👏



Great talk by Dimitra Sokolova on microglia-astrocyte cross-talk in synapse loss in Alzheimer’s Soyon Hong The Francis Crick Institute UK Dementia Research Institute London Glia Community #LondonGlia2023




Happening now: Session #4 on Astrocytes in pathology with the awesome chairs Maite Solas and Anna Malik, and another group of amazing speakers: Dimitra Sokolova, Laura Civiero, Anna Malik, Mari Sanchez-Mico, Micaela Zonta and Maite Solas 🤩 #AstrocyteCafe2024




It's finally out!! Extremely grateful for mammoth efforts by co-first author Tiana Sophia Behr, and Benjamin Ryskeldi-Falcon Duff Lab, and all other co-authors. Have a look to see how #cryo-ET can shed light on our brain's molecular secrets! 😍 See Alzforum: bit.ly/3V7ycMw #dementia
