Our latest work is out on BioRxiv 🤩 If you're interested in pericytes, cell migration on patterns or physical modeling, this one is for you !

I kicked off #16DaysOfActivism in Slovakia by discussing gender-based violence with high school students. Empowering girls & boys to become agents of change, build healthy relationships, recognize and tackle online or physical psychological and sexual abuse in their relationships

Exciting from @AudreyChagnot and @AxL_Montagne
Did you know that connexins roles extend beyond the gap (junctions) and are implied in the metabolic homeostasis of blood-brain barrier? Have look at our preview of Zhan, Meng et al.'s exciting study published in Neuron! https://t.co/BWO22rXW0m

Dementia can affect anyone. It doesn’t discriminate. This Christmas, @stephenfry helps us tell a story of what Christmas would be like if Santa had Alzheimer’s, the most common cause of dementia. Together we can end the heartbreak of dementia. Share #ForACure.

My first #FluorescenceFriday is a glimpse into the vasculature of an adult zebrafish 🧠 with blood vessels labelled in red and pericytes in cyan.

You nailed it @DanyJaimeGarcia 👏🏻🤩 It took a wee bit more time than expected 😉 but the end result is worth it, an unique and very useful piece for the vascular aficionados out there! 🧠😍
We know there is endothelial dysfunction in small vessel disease, but have you ever wondered what this actually means? Delighted to share our newly published review in collaboration with Joanna Wardlaw, @AxL_Montagne and @AudreyChagnot. https://t.co/UpjSTrl5v6

Zooming in on the start of β-amyloid build-up happening around neurons before senile plaques form in the aged brain. Markers: neurons (🟣neun), nuclei (🔵dapi), β-amyloid (🟡d3d2n). @zeiss_micro #neuroscience
