Instead of a snarky review tearing others down (like some "colleagues" do), we gathered 24 PIs with different views to write a data-driven review on glymphatic–lymphatic connections and brain immunity, focused on open questions. It’s out now—hope you enjoy the read.

Exciting new work from Gloria Choi’s and Jun Huh’s labs || IL-1R1-positive dorsal raphe neurons drive self-imposed social withdrawal in sickness: Cell

Our new paper by Melvin King @MKing629 is out! GABAergic Bmal1 KO reduces amyloid plaques and p-tau in 5xFAD mice- but only in LD! In DD, 5xFAD mice have fewer plaques and GABergic Bmal1 KO has no effect. Suggests light-clock interaction controls Abeta.

Congratulations to @ConstanzeDepp a fantastic scientist and rising star in neuroscience. Constanze is a finalist for the Eppendorf Prize and was recognized last night at the Awards Ceremony at @SfNtweets for her PhD work with @KlausNave

Tonight’s episode of @60Minutes will include a segment on the impact of federally funded science and recent cuts to science funding. Our lab’s development of base editing and prime editing and their clinical applications will be among the work described in the episode.

The latest Microsoft Research Forum episode is now available on-demand. Explore purposeful research and its real-world impact.

Happy Halloween 🎃! (Highlights from our department pumpkin carving contest)

It’s a wrap! What a fantastic, fun and intense 3 days of science. The future is bright for the growing field Neuroimmunology. Thank you to all the speakers, attendees and especially the many trainees who bring their energy, ideas and excellent questions!

Next #ReThinkNeuroimmunology (#RTN2026) will be at the @WeizmannScience 🤩 We are so excited to come back to peaceful Israel 🇮🇱

🙌A huge thanks to the organizers for putting together a brilliant program for #RTN2025 🧠 - @IdoAmitLab @jonykipnis @stevens1lab @RejaneRua @QuintanaLabHMS. Also grateful to our many sponsors, speakers, attendees & vital team behind the scenes for an awesome meeting of the minds

I love this crossbody bag. It is large enough and small enough at the same time. It holds my full size wallet and sunglasses along with anything else that I might need. It isn’t bulky or heavy. It also fits in the Siena Rivera Tote.

Let this amazing, crazy and stimulating meeting begin! 🏄 #RTN2025 #ReThinkNeuroimmunology2025 @QuintanaLabHMS @stevens1lab @jonykipnis @RejaneRua

Looking forward to this meeting! Spread the word to those interested, especially trainees

I'm thrilled to share our new study out in @NatureMedicine! We show that a blood test can estimate how aged or youthful one’s organs are and that these organ ages predict future disease and lifespan. Final paper from my PhD in the @wysscoray lab. 🧵1/12 🔗
