In a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, astrocytes signal to microglia, which then cluster around disease-associated protein aggregates and help to clear them. Find out more in this excellent N&V by Jerika Barron and Anna Molofsky go.nature.com/2VCHUKV


Excited to share our latest preprint led by killer team Rafael Han and Ilia Vainchtein with colleagues from Jeanne Paz and Chris Glass labs – showing that microglia protect the developing brain from seizures via IL-33, the reshaper of epigenomes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…




We’re back in March! Kicking off the new season with a special edition: Ruslan Medzhitov Ruslan Medzhitov PLUS a participatory panel discussion on “Simple Principles of Complex Systems”. Join us on Tuesday March 8th! crowdcast.io/e/brainbody-me…


Thrilled to share our work in the Tony Wyss-Coray lab in collaboration with Fabian Kern 🦋 @fabianmkern, ZucheroLab, Andreas Keller and Henrik Zetterberg. We discover a surprising effect of CSF growth factors on oligodendrocyte and memory in the aging hippocampus.nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/13

"The common thread in all of the country’s revolting mass shootings is the absurdly easy access to guns. The science is clear: Restrictions work, and it’s likely that even more limitations would save thousands of lives," fcld.ly/5edg6kv Holden Thorp, dormant account #ScienceEditorial.




Yesterday, I got an email from Duke University with the eye-catching subject line: "Are you making an expensive mistake?". I opened the email, and it got worse.



Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions. By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. elifesciences.org/inside-elife/5…

1/8 Are all synapses created equal? Clem Bernard in Beatriz Rico and @Marinlab has found that the building of new synapses is controlled in a cell-type and even synapse-type-specific manner.

Excited to share the latest story from our group in Cell and so proud of the great science and incredible dedication of first authors Leah Dorman and Caroline Escoubas Güney and all co authors (more details to follow) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our latest paper with Ari Molofsky is out! tweetorial to follow. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells promote inhibitory synapse development and social behavior | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Jerika Barron @ Nick Mroz

Thrilled to finally share this work from my PhD! Very appreciative of the amazing team that helped from start to finish, and the dual mentorship from Anna Molofsky and Ari Molofsky! Stay tuned for a thread. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
