New preprint from our team! We generate astrocytes with different shapes from human stem cells in vitro and use them to understand the shape-function relationships in glia cells. Cool new findings and -we think- important take-home messages for neurobiology and neurodegeneration

New preprint alert! Do you like astrocytes? Are you working on human glia and wondered how to make astrocytes of different shapes in culture? You don't know why this matters??? Find out here! Cool new findings on shape-function relationship in human glia!

Scientists @theSeriousLab (UK DRI at @KingsIoPPN) have developed a novel pipeline to create cell culture devices - using their expertise in bioengineering & microfabrication to design & make devices in a flexible, easy & accessible way👏 👉buff.ly/3vbWACY

Finally out! Check out our latest paper detailing a pipeline for creating complex cell culture devices that any lab can implement with minimal cost and prior expertise needed! We wanted to lower "activation costs" for microfab and engineering in biological labs...
King's scientists @theSeriousLab have developed a novel pipeline to create cell culture devices. The #SOL3D pipeline, published in @PLOSBiology, is cheaper, versatile, highly reproducible and “democratises” the use of #microdevices in research

... So we focused on making this open, clear and practical to implement, including a really detailed "how-to" starter guide and making all the designs freely available on our lab GitHub page (github.com/SerioLab/SOL3D).

We had Taylor step in for Cathleen’s talk yesterday at the ECR day at the @UKDRI’s #Connectome2023 in Brighton. If you want to learn more about how we can model neurone & astrocyte cell shape-function relationships in both health & disease, come to posters 41, 93 & 135 today! 🧠

Researchers in @maxgabgut‘s lab have discovered a new way that specialised immune cells called macrophages fight back against tuberculosis (TB) infection 🦠
This discovery could open up avenues for new drugs to combat TB and other infectious diseases.

Welcome and thanks to all the speakers who joined us as we held our first Crick - @HKUniversity Symposium! It's been a packed day with a great variety of talks from both institutions as we look for even more opportunities to collaborate.

Our week ended with a bang💥- much like the Death Star - with our away day get together to celebrate new labs (including ours) recently joining the KCL @UKDRI! Was great to meet everyone, & I like to think the force was strong with all of us - excited for the future 🚀 #scinotfi

Thanks to everyone who has come to visit my @sassyneurosci and @LudovicaGuetta’s posters over the last couple days at #glia2023! We’ve had some great interactions, interesting questions and really helpful feedback on our work! Having an amazing time with you all in Berlin 🌟🇪🇺

Day 2 of #glia2023 didn’t disappoint! Started off with some great insights on the astrocyte connectome with @MelCooperPhD, followed by tripartite synapse updates, and a brilliant closing talk by @LiddelowSA on how to dissect astrocyte diversity when they go rogue & reactive 💥⭐️

We don’t want to FORCE you, but our very own @LudovicaGuetta is presenting her poster on how mechanical forces control astrocyte reactivity, shape and function ⚡️⚙️⭐️ and you really don’t want to miss it! Her poster is TODAY, T04-001B at #euroglia #glia2023 see you there!

Had a blast at the opening day of the EGM 2023! We learnt more on how to use bioeng to mimic the micro-environment of glial cells, all things neural stem cells and regeneration from Freda Miller, and one of our fave topics - astrocyte diversity! ✨⭐️🌟excited for day 2! #glia2023
