It toke to me hours and hours of confocal microscopy to register this beauties neurospheres, but worth it 😍. One of this photos is cover of @AJPathology in july! You can also check my article here 👇❤️
Fantastic cover image: "Infection of Mouse Neural Progenitor Cells by #Toxoplasmagondii Reduces Proliferation, Migration, and Neuronal Differentiation in Vitro", from @Adesse_D and colleagues from @agencia_fiocruz, @ufrj and @umiamimedicine. #OpenAccess: https://t.co/lMNgaBiKL8

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 yeaaaah, my paper was accepted!!!!!
Ecstatic to share that our manuscript was accepted for publication at the @AJPathology !!! We started this project during my first years as an independent PI and @lu_science was starting her undergraduate research training at my lab!!! 🧶🧵🪡

A gente assume que quando está mal é porque bactérias ou vírus estão destruindo nosso corpo mas o que conta mesmo é a ativação do hipotálamo que provoca febre e perda de apetite, mesmo sem patógenos. Estimulação cerebral contra doenças infecciosas?

Started off almost 4 years ago in the @soyonhonglab lab ordering pipettes and a centrifuge, now happy to present the lab's first paper! We found that in early AD models, perivascular cells signal to microglia and instruct elimination of synapses https://t.co/P2rJ7QcvD5

A UFRJ tem bolsistas CAPES no Total de: 1.555 de mestrado 2.128 de doutorado E mais 682 residentes nas unidades de saúde. Não basta a solidariedade. As bolsas devem ser pagas porque os bolsistas dependem delas para a sobrevivência. #PagueMinhaBolsa

Uma bolsa de mestrado custa R$1500, mas deveria ser R$2636, caso apenas a inflação dos últimos 9 anos fosse reposta. A bolsa de doutorado vale R$2200, mas teria que ser R$3867, pelo mesmo critério. É inadmissível uma defasagem tão grande. Sem aumento não dá! #ReajusteJa

One of the oldest and deadliest diseases, malaria caused more than 627,000 deaths in 2020. A new treatment based on a drug initially developed to fight cancer has shown considerable promise.

Glad to share out latest work in @Dev_Cell today. Combining animal and organoid models, we show that KIF26A plays critical roles in numerous aspects of brain development, and KIF26A loss-of-function mutations cause brain malformations in patients. https://t.co/ZRKvi04Rt6
