How does fluid waste leave the brain? A new study by #WashUMed uncovers the passageways that carry waste away from the brain, offering potential therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative diseases: medicine.wustl.edu/news/how-does-…

The regulation and differentiation of regulatory T cells and their dysfunction in autoimmune diseases dlvr.it/T2ydH4

We're excited to share these tools with the scientific community to enable a more precise dissection of the functions of different CNS fibroblast types. Dpp4-CreERT2 targets arachnoid barrier cells, while Slc47a1-CreERT2 targets dural border cells.

Super excited for this award for our collaborative project with Felipe A Pinho Ribeiro. But even more excited to join this exceptional group of scientists and can't wait for the in-person meeting to meet everyone and to brainstorm!

Absolutely honored to join the CZI community and thrilled to embark on this with the one and only Jonathan Kipnis 💔🎗️. This joint effort is set to push the boundaries of neuroscience and advance brain health. Grateful and excited for what's ahead! #neuroimmunology #makingADifference

Thank you to @matrongolo, Phil Ang, Aditya Jain, Akash Reddy, Gaetan Barbet, Young-Kwon Hong, Junbing Wu, and rest of the team for their hard work + dedication to this study🙏👏 this is a very exciting field for those interested in opportunities (DM me), and much more to come!

In 1992 @SciAM article, Carla Shatz summarized Hebb’s theory as “Neurons that fire together wire together”. Today, inspired by Carla's phrase, we bring you “Neurons that fire together shower together”. Why do we sleep? Why to we emit waves? Li-Feng Jiang-Xie attempted to answer

WashU Medicine researchers are uncovering sleep’s role in maintaining brain health. Rhythmic waves associated with restful sleep help to propel waste and toxins away from the brain. Learn more: medicine.wustl.edu/news/neurons-h…

Excited to share our work published today. We identified that neurons are the master organizers for brain fluid perfusion and waste clearance. Inspired by Hebbian rule and Carla Shatz’s phrase, we summarize it as 'neurons fire together shower together'. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Active neurons can stimulate the clearance of their own metabolic waste by driving changes to ion gradients in the surrounding fluid and by promoting the pulsation of nearby blood vessels go.nature.com/3Td6Kwe

This paper from Jonathan Kipnis 💔🎗️ lab is incredible. Striking results that have updated how I think about what neural activity in the brain is actually doing - especially during sleep or anesthesia. Elegant approaches and easy-to-follow and compelling writing. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited that this conference is coming to us! Amazing lineup of speakers! Please register and RT!

Our Spotlight on the groundbreaking work of Leon Smyth, Jonathan Kipnis 💔🎗️, Kipnis Lab and colleagues is out in Trends in Immunology. 🧠💡 Thanks to #JavierMaríaPeraltaRamos and #MichalSchwartz.

🧵 Excited to share my first preprint from my PhD Kipnis Lab and The Colonna Lab: "Brain-Engrafted Monocyte-derived Macrophages from Blood and Skull-Bone Marrow Exhibit Distinct Identities from Microglia." 🧠🦴 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are very proud of Siling Du for wining the best poster prize at @WashUdbb WUSTL Immunology retreat! Congrats, Siling! The story is amazing and you are very deserving of this recognition!

Excited to share a new work from Kipnis Lab by amazing Wenqing Gao (twitter-less) on developing engineered T cell therapy for CNS injury || nature.com/articles/s4158…

Kipnis Lab we are looking forward to your presentation at #TargetAD25 in Crete next May🇬🇷☀️Registration & Talk Submission is now OPEN so please RT to let your followers know! Find out more: bit.ly/3zOJ0Y1

New nature An unanticipated discovery: the brain suppresses the immune response by producing autoimmune "guardian peptides" that block neuroinflammation, which may be especially important in neurodegenerative diseases nature.com/articles/s4158… Important work by Jonathan Kipnis 💔🎗️

How is the #CNS protected from the immune system? @MitchKim_MW and a team in the @KipnisLab found that regulatory self-peptides bind to MCH II molecules at the central nervous system border. nature paper: go.nature.com/4eDxzkH Discussion: bit.ly/40OXlzk
