Great to see Tram's paper online showing that rTMS increased interneuron activity following demyelination and increased remyelination by new and surviving oligodendrocytes. Thanks to coauthors including @DrCarlieCullen , @AlastairFortune , @LauraReale12 , @Tomlewis2310 .
The Preventing Dementia MOOC starts on the 14th of May. A free online course that examines the evidence for dementia risk reduction. Join an international audience in learning about this important public health issue. mooc.utas.edu.au/course/2018…
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…
We invite applications for a postdoctoral position with the Glial Research Team in Hobart, Australia. Please apply online by following this link.

We're recruiting! Interested in how #mitochondria and #astrocytes regulate neuroinflammatory responses during demyelination? Our group is looking for a PhD student: shorturl.at/firvM
Project uses transgenic mice, confocal microscopy and transcriptomics. Get in touch!
We are excited to present our most recent preprint, outlining gene expression differences and functionality of mesoderm and neural crest iPSC-derived pericytes (iPericytes) in comparison to human brain vascular pericytes (HBVPs)
biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (1/3)
We found substantial differences in gene expression between iPericytes of different lineages. We also found iPericytes proliferate in response to PDGF-BB and respond to vasoactive mediators endothelin-1 and adenosine, with some lineage specific differences in their response (3/3)
Join us next Friday for a workshop facilitated by @BradASutherland's Perivascular Research Group!
This workshop aims to provide insight in successfully developing an engaging and scientific literate presentation that will ‘WOW’ the audience.
