🧠🔬 Exciting #HotTopic: microglial "plugs" found at blood vessel contacts in the brain! This opens a new path to understand how microglia interact with the vasculature in health and disease. Don't miss it: journals.sagepub.com/doi/ful… #JCBFMhome #ISCBFM #BrainResearch

Our new paper published in @BrainBehavImm shows ablating pericytes in mice causes hypoactivity🏃, motor impairment, vessel dysfunction🩸, and widespread gliosis🌟. Another reminder of how important pericytes are for brain function. @BradASutherland @LabGlial (1/3)

Numerous pharmacological studies modulating pericyte contraction are currently being published! 👀 This interesting @biorxivpreprint shows that #Rapamycin (#mTOR inhibition) relaxes #pericytes, mitigating capillary dysfunction after stroke reperfusion 🧠 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Check out our new work on how microglia interact with the vasculature through astrocyte end feet using the @AllenInstitute #MICrONS cortical mm^3 dataset! Had a great time working with @Gazz4_Science, @BradASutherland and @SorenGrubb to produce this work!
1/ 🔥 Exciting findings from our collaboration between @UTAS_, @SeattleChildrens, and @uni_copenhagen! We've discovered a new way #microglia interact with 🧠 vasculature, which could reshape our understanding of their role in #brain health and disease. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our latest publication was just released in Stem Cell Research and Therapy, showing gene expression and functional differences between neural crest and mesoderm iPSC-derived pericytes (iPericytes). Check it out here: doi.org/10.1186/s13287-024-0…

📢Our lab balbilab.com at @QldBrainInst is looking for a PhD student interested in brain oscillations and their intricate role in restoring function after stroke. Lots of cool techniques such as in vivo electrophysiology and imaging in🐭. Info: study.uq.edu.au/study-option…

We look forward to starting work on our NHMRC Ideas grant with @FletcherJL, @nickomatics, @BradASutherland and @BruestleLab. Together we will find out how MS-associated genetic variants alter brain cell function.
