The first plenary lecture of the #NWG2025 @neurowissg.bsky.social is there! Frank Bradke @dzne.science delivers lecture about axon growth and regeneration. Great to learn about the importance of microtubules! 🤩🧠

Thanks to the organizers @sancholab.bsky.social @casanova-acebes.bsky.social & Carlos Silvestre for giving me the opportunity to kick-off this fantastic meeting #EPW2025
What a day for #macrophage lovers!

I think the field needs to reconsider the widespread concept that microglia are The most important factor controlling synaptic pruning.🧠🧪

We offered our Perspective on whether they are hunters or gatherers of synaptic debris here

Had a great visit at SyNergy and DZNE Munich invited by Jochen Herms yesterday.and today

excited to announce that our grant proposal to Alzheimer Forschung Initiative e.V. (AFI) has been awarded! 🎉
The grant, will support the development of innovative tools to target APOE4 with a translational approach for AD. Thanks to Alzheimer Forschung Initiative for their s👌🤟👍😃

"Culturing microglia induces rapidly increased growth, protein content, and inflammatory protein expression. These changes are restored by engrafting in vitro cells into the brain, with xenografted human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived microglia closely resembling microglia from the human brain."

"A journal name or its Impact Factor says little about the quality of any individual research article" is so true, yet so often forgotten when evaluating researchers careers...
