Congratulations to Prof. Tim Ryan & group at Weill Cornell Medicine for this wonderful study!.
A study in @NatMetabolism shows that under glucose-depleted conditions, neurons can use fatty acids as an alternative source of energy to support synaptic function.

It was great to have the fabulous @SchaferLabUMass Dr. Dori Schafer visiting & enlighten us on the awesome microglia-immune interactions in the brain in context of aging, neurodegeneration. One of the best talks I have heard in the recent times with really exciting science.

Congratulations @MathiThiru95 , Amazing work! 👌🏻✨🥳.
The outer ear is a mammalian innovation but where did it come from? In our study in @Nature, @MathiThiru95 and colleagues find that the outer ear arose from modification of an ancestral gill program first originating in marine invertebrates. 1/n

@MaggieSodders, @anurag721 & @TheBaiLab show that defective peroxisomal import functions in #Drosophila glia can upregulate pro-inflammatory signals—causing neuroinflammation, axonal swelling & decreased motor function. Read more in #G3journal:
