Excited to share the latest study on peripheral nerve repair by the Stassart/Fledrich lab! See how Schwann cells communicate with adipocytes to adjust their metabolism for successful regeneration. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Thrilled that the DFG will fund our #NeuroTune graduate school in Leipzig with €5.7M for 5 tandem projects creating over 40 PhD positions. The Stassart/Fledrich lab is proud to host two projects, exploring adaptive myelination in diverse contexts.

A beautiful study showing how PMP22 affects the lipid metabolism of Schwann cells in CMT1A.

I'm very proud that my main study from my PhD is finally out in the journal Brain! This was a huge collaborative project that took several years but I'm happy with the result!

We are looking for a postdoc to investigate behavioural & functional correlates in zebrafish with mutations in autism genes. Great opportunity to develop a new research direction towards studying the role of glia in neurodevelopmental disorders. Please RT elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/…

With the passing of Laura Feltri we lost a valued colleague who made incredible contributions to PNS research and beyond. She leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

Injury to peripheral #nerves in the body can result in pain and movement disorders. Scientists at #UniLeipzig have recently investigated how damaged nerves can regenerate better. Fatty tissue supports the healing process. #Medicine @RFledrich uni-leipzig.de/en/newsdetail…

Acute nerve injury triggers leptin receptor expression by Schwann cells. Leptin released from adipose tissue then stimulates mitochondrial respiration and myelin autophagy in Schwann cells to promote nerve repair.

Do you agree that animal research is essential in #Biology & #MedicalResearch?
📢The EU will be discussing a complete ban of animal research - Please support this initiative pro animal research in Europe & spread the word 🙏
