We endure precarity early in our careers on the assumption that job security will eventually come. But we're sold a false dream as permanency in #academia is a myth. Everyone's replaceable. My next blog for @demrescommunity on facing #redundancy ⬇️. https://t.co/4nqpa58RYA

Thrilled to share our latest work as co-first author! Could synaptic pruning involve non-microglial cells? How do other cell types compensate in the absence of microglia? This study opens the door to exciting questions yet to be explored.
Mice lacking microglia (Csf1r∆FIRE/∆FIRE) have normal -synapse number and maturation -seizure susceptibility and hippocampal-prefrontal cortex coherence -segregation of inputs into the lateral geniculate nucleus -neuronal and astrocytic gene expression https://t.co/C6FBRqwwMA
