Another exciting pre-print from the lab! This time featuring the work of MSTP student Kaylee Tutrow, we explored the functional consequences of the CX3CR1-V249I polymorphism in human stem cell-derived microglia models!

Happy to share a new pre-print from the lab. Here we use human stem cell models to explore how microglia modulate retinal ganglion cells in developmental and neuroinflammation, both directly and in concert with astrocytes. Amazing work from PhD student Jade Harkin!

A human pluripotent stem cell tri-culture platform to elucidate microglial regulation of retinal ganglion cells in neuroinflammation
Optic neuropathies, including glaucoma, are characterized by the progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), ultimately leading to irreversible vision loss. Increasing evidence implicat...

Lab photo (or at least most of the lab) during a tour of the new Medical Education and Research Building at IU School of Medicine. Can’t wait to move in later this year!

Highly impactful read on the state of Alzheimer's research, and neurodegeneration more broadly. And quite a shout out to Indiana University and the neuroscience programs here at the Stark Neurosciences Research Institute!

Bill Gates: I lost my father to Alzheimer’s. But I’m more optimistic than ever about fighting the disease
Bill Gates writes: “We are on the cusp of turning the tide against dementia — which makes this an especially bad time to pull back on research.”

Check out the latest research from the lab of #IUStemCell member Scott Canfield! In this study, they demonstrate that excessive alcohol levels impair the integrity of the blood-brain barrier in human stem cell-derived models, contributing to the onset or worsening of neurological disorders.
