Online now: The cGAS-STING pathway activates transcription factor TFEB to stimulate lysosome biogenesis and pathogen clearance

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 https://t.co/xu8GgsBszu

According to dynamical systems, psychiatric disorders can be seen as energy landscapes with peaks and valleys. OCD has deep valleys where neural activity gets stuck, while schizophrenia has shallow valleys that let neural activity roam too freely, connecting unrelated ideas.

Highly recommended! Hurry up! Just one week left to apply!

Microglia can make their own pathogenic tau, wrecking phagocytosis TREM2 signaling, and spewing a brew of neurotoxic molecules. @WUSTL

https://t.co/xtduyFDHSh thanks to @VirusesImmunity for this lovely spotlight of our work on Type I interferons in brain development, including implications for future studies of how viruses may impact the brain.

Trying this again: I’m a terrible PI for not posting this sooner. A recent review published from my lab @NeurobioUMass @UMassChan from the fabulous @Viole_DL on activity-dependent regulation of microglia within neural circuits: https://t.co/1UD8v5sZEq

Congratulations to @hong_lee89 for his study out today in @Nature! We describe epigenetic memory in ACLY+p300+ astrocytes that worsens MS pathology

Excited to share the latest story from our group in @CellCellPress and so proud of the great science and incredible dedication of first authors @sculptorofdance and @CarolineScsGlia and all co authors (more details to follow) https://t.co/PihCy1L4Ia

TREM1 disrupts myeloid bioenergetics and cognitive function in aging and Alzheimer disease models https://t.co/AZbtOfTbSe

Mount Sinai researchers have shown for the first time that immune cells called monocytes can be drawn during stress into sites in the brain that control emotional behaviors. These data establish a novel mechanism by which the immune system can affect central nervous system

A micrograph of some groups of neurons from the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), one of the regions in the brain responsible for visual processing! The neurons in the photo are known as magnocellular cells (🟠) and are surrounded by astrocytes (🔵) and other cellular types.

Kiianitsa, Lukes et al. show that multiple Alzheimer's disease-associated TREM2 variants exert their pathogenic effects via altered TREM2 splicing. https://t.co/GT32Xnpw8o

Excited by our study @ImmunityCP showing that senescent monocyte-derived macs (driven by MAPK mutations) which we showed lead to macs prolonged survival and cytokine release breakdown the BBB, infiltrate the brain and promote neurodegeneration

New issue online! In honor of the #NobelPrize2023 awarded to @kkariko & @WeissmanLab, an essay from Brian Brown, Anthony Fauci, @BelkaidLab & @MiriamMerad tells the story of their transformative discovery: the successes and challenges, and the perseverance and vision that were

All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it
