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 .

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/…

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)
