Excited to see the new issue of @ImmunityCP, with our cover @rosa_paolicelli @AnneCompagnion 😍 #microglia #SHIP1 #Inpp5d
New issue online! Cover depicts work from @rosa_paolicelli @Ales_matera @AnneCompagnion &co showing that Inpp5d (SHIP1) is expressed in microglia during early postnatal brain development, where it limits synaptic pruning in a complement-dependent manner. Cover shows microglial

Curious and passionate about the world of #microglia? Check out our article, main work of my Ph.D. thesis, about the role of #SHIP1 as a modulator of microglia function in early brain development. Special thanks to @rosa_paolicelli and @AnneCompagnion, and all the co-authors! 🎉
Thrilled to share our latest work on how #SHIP1, a gene linked to #neurodegeneration, affects #microglia in early #brain development. Congrats to @Ales_matera, @AnneCompagnion and the many #collaborators @ImmunityCP @FBM_UNIL

Remembering the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the first individual to be awarded two Nobel Prizes and still today the only individual with two Nobel Prizes in two different scientific categories: Marie Skłodowska Curie. Curie was born #OnThisDay in 1867.

What if we deplete #microglia in mice with hindlimb #paralysis? what about functional #recovery induced by physical #training? No spoilers! go and talk to @martineau_fanny on Monday at #euroglia2023, #poster T17-016C! she’ll tell you this and more! #glialovers #glia23 #remodeling
