Thank you Erin 💜💜
So great that this paper is finally out! Happy that I was able to contribute to this important study. Congratulations @seppedeschepper.bsky.social, @soyonhonglab.bsky.social, Tim Bartels and all co-authors!
New research has revealed how Parkinson’s spreads from the gut to the brain, with the help of immune cells – offering a new potential therapeutic strategy – in a study in mice co-led by Dr @soyonhonglab.bsky.social & Dr Tim Bartels @ukdri.ac.uk @uclqsion.bsky.social @uclbrainscience.bsky.social
Our paper is finally out!
We position intestinal muscularis macrophages as early initiators of α-synuclein pathology and dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s models. They also drive local CD4⁺ T cell expansion, which subsequently migrates from gut to brain

🙏🙏 to entire team esp co-lead Tim Bartels. So proud of @seppedeschepper.bsky.social brilliant first postdoc who now leads his own at VIB. 🙏🙏🙏to @chanzuckerberg.bsky.social for supporting the project from early pilot phase. Contact us if u want to explore next steps in PD gut/brain neuroimmunology!
Absolutely thrilled & grateful to be awarded this prestigious ERC grant. None of this would have been possible without the remarkable team in my lab, past & present! Excited for the next steps of this important project.
Very excited and honored to join the Warsaw glia symposium- can’t wait to learn more about and discuss together the beauty and the complexity of glia with the community!
Amazing, Staci!!! 💜
You’re so kind. Thank you ☺️
Dear immune/glia lovers of brain, gut and beyond… We’re looking for a lab tech/manager to join our team! Pls see details for application here ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se… @ukdri.ac.uk @uclqsion.bsky.social - pls help circulate among networks who’d be of interest, thank you!
Excited to share our new work demonstrating a role for astrocytic inflammasome signaling in modulating hippocampal plasticity. @cp-immunity.bsky.social

Our lab's 1st paper, led by @fchrisbennett.bsky.social & @waisenberg.bsky.social. A decade thinking how to directly assess the impact of microglia replacement. Yrs of hard work. This kind of work is needed to expand brain disease care for kids & the vision for safer, more effective cell therapy.
Check out this paper from the Movahedi lab! It’s a great companion to ours - showing the populations of brain macrophages that monocytes can replace.
Congrats to first author Jonathan Bastos!
Excited to share this new work led by the talented Mike Dolan @dolan in collaboration with Evan macosko

💪💪💪 @blurtonjoneslab.bsky.social sooo cool!
Super fascinating!! Congrats, Tomás!!!
#AAICNeuroNext is really fantastic - connecting the world’s ECRs! The whole event is super inspirational - I got goosebumps when I saw how connected this event is , representing and promoting global research
Thanks so much, Malu! You’re so kind

Yay Wendy!!! Rockstar 🤩🤩
Thrilled to see this paper out!! 🧪
Spatial transcriptomics of brain aging and 'spatial aging clocks' identify cells that have pro-aging or pro-rejuvenating effects on their neighbors!
Huge CONGRATS to Eric Sun and all authors! Fantastic collaboration with @jameszou.bsky.social!
