GM-CSF signaling hijacks astrocyte transcriptional regulation to suppress anti-inflammatory gene expression in autoimmune neuroinflammation... another bangin' mechanistic study from Fran Quintana's lab! Brigham and Women's Hospital Harvard University #astrocyte #msresearch go.nature.com/2w8rg9e

The powerful meat lobby is using the COVID-19 crisis as an excuse to kill millions of animals on farms in horrific ways. Tell the USDA not to use taxpayer dollars—in the form of relief funds—to pay for this cruelty. mercyforanimals.org/NoSlaughterBai…

Very promising that people are waking up to this!

Today marks the first Josh Burda lab paper being released into the world! We investigated the remarkable heterogeneity of astorcytes reactivity in different disease/injury contexts. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Thanks to Denise Heady and the Science Communication team Cedars-Sinai for this great write up on our recent work!

What an honor! Thank you to our doctors, nurses, academic leaders and amazing staff. Your hard work earned this, and we’re so proud and excited to celebrate you on a national scale. 🥇🥈 U.S. News & World Report #BestHospitals #CedarsSinaiProud ceda.rs/3zxhBHv

🏆 R01 is funded! Continued support from NINDSfunding will allow us to peer deeper into the roles of astrocytes in neural repair and functional recovery after CNS injury. Could not have done it without the great 🧠 of Keshav B. Suresh and Dr Sarah McCallum 💪😍🙏 Cedars-Sinai

Proud to announce our new funding from Wings for Life spinal cord research foundation 🙏. This support enables new research into white matter astrocyte functions in neural repair after #spinalcordinjury. Be sure to support #spinalcordinjury research by joining Wings for Life World Run 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

Burda Lab is hiring postdocs! Join our NIH-funded team to explore the functions of astrocytes in neural tissue remodeling, inflammation and repair after CNS injury… and live in Los Angeles! DM with any questions. Details and application here: jobs.cedars-sinai.edu/job/los-angele…

A big thanks to ARMI and Jan Kaslin for the wonderful opportunity to speak about our recent work on the genetic regulation of astrocyte reactivity and astrocyte roles in CNS repair. Hope to see you all again soon!

This is terrific. Nice segment on promising new intervention strategy targeting microglia in MS... featuring the great Jeffrey Huang!

Headed to #SfN2023 and looking for a postdoc position? Burda lab is hiring great minds to explore reactive astrocyte functions in plasticity, neuromodulation and neuroinflammation in CNS injury and degeneration! #glia #postdocposition ✨💫🌟DM to schedule a meetup at SFN🌟💫✨

Check it out! It was a pleasure to be a part of this exciting new work lead by Dima Sheyn Sheyn Lab -- unraveling cellular and molecular mediators of back pain using and an elegant combination of human iPSC and rodent models.

More excitingly this highlights that astrocyte reactivity is specialized to the local cellular niche. If you think this is cool the Josh Burda lab is looking for postdocs to come and explore how other astrocyte states may regulate distinct aspects of neural regeneration 8/end

🔥🔥🔥summary of our recent work by the great Dr Sarah McCallum. Who knew there was so much going on so far away from a #spinalcordinjury lesion

Yessss! #spinalcordinjury lesion-remote astrocytes regulate lipid metabolism of neighboring phagocytic microglia‼️💥💥💥💥

💥Burda Lab superstar Dr Sarah McCallum just received NOA for a K99|R00 Pathway to Independence Award from The National Institute on Aging (NIA) -- Incredibly proud of you, Sarah! Can't wait to see this important project unfold. McCallum Lab coming in hot!🔥 #glia
