FBXW7 regulates MYRF levels to control myelin capacity and homeostasis in the adult central nervous system - Nature Communications

The homeostasis of myelin in the central nervous system is highly regulated, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, the authors show that the FBXW7 protein has a role in constraining myelin ...

I just wanted to share that everyone here in CCMR is deeply saddened by the passing of @cam.ac.uk Professor Bill Blakemore. He was instrumental for training an entire generation of glia biologists. His work on remyelination and MS research created the models we all use today! He will sorely missed.

Astrocytic GLUT1 deletion in adult mice enhances glucose metabolism and resilience to stroke - Nature Communications

Glucose uptake in astrocytes is thought to rely on GLUT1. Here, the authors show that adult mice tolerate astrocyte-specific GLUT1 deletion, which increases astrocytic glucose metabolism and confers n...

Motion artefacts do not only ruin experiments, so sorry this photo is imperfect! @ludovicaguetta.bsky.social is working at @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social in the lab of Andrea Serio. Ludovica has generated human iPSC astrocytes to study morphology /function relationships in health & reactivity #glia

@amyxguo.bsky.social from New York, @liddelowsa.bsky.social lab, has characterized the LCN2 tdTomato mice that label reactive #astrocytes & reactive #endothelial cells. First timer at the #GRCGlia2025, she's done great asking good questions. Definitely one to follow 🔬🧬🍅✨ med.nyu.edu/faculty/shan...

Introducing Nicola Allen, co-chair of GRCGlia2027! Nicola trained with David Attwell at UCL and then worked with Ben Barres before starting her on lab at the Salk Institute. She is glia veteran and best of all British! I'm sure she will visit the UK for a talk soon, watch this space! #idol #legend

Hello to Nicola Schmid, a neurobiologist in Switzerland working with Bruno Weber and Marina Herwerth. Neurones transiently decrease their calcium activity when astrocytes are ablated with AQP4 antibody - but to everyone's surprise, they recover! #GRCGlia2025 #neuroscience #astrocytes #science
