Excited to see our preview of the great work from Su et al. published in Neuron on how astrocyte endfeet regulate myelination. Their work gives an excellent insight into how astroycte-oligo interactions shape myelination. cell.com/neuron/fulltex… cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

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…

And the completion of this story was only possible because of all the help from the most amazing Anya Kim and Björn Neumann in the Franklin lab!🥰
