Here we show how #microglia contact #pericytes and #endothelialcells in the #venule end of the #capillary bed. Note also how a #primarycilium of an #interneuron invaginates the microglia. But why? 🤔 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... @gazz4science.bsky.social

Here's a fun one for #FluorescenceFriday. Did you know #marsupials have an entirely different CNS vascular anatomy to most animals? Arterioles and venules enter the brain and branch in unison, terminating at capillary loops. Check out this example from a #TasmanianDevil brain! (1/2)

May I please be added, thank you!

Couldn’t find a dedicated stem cell biology starter pack, so started one here: go.bsky.app/UTW4d7b

Inhibiting Ca2+ channels in Alzheimer’s disease model mice relaxes pericytes, improves cerebral blood flow and reduces immune cell stalling and hypoxia - Nature Neuroscience Early in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), brain blood flow is reduced by pericytes constricting capillaries. Korte et al. show that oral nimodipine can reverse this and decrease brain hypoxia. Blocking capil...

Pericytologists unite! 🩸🦑

The primary cells of the neurovascular unit: endothelial cells🔵, pericytes🦑 and astrocytes🟢

some great starter packs for the #glia, #astrocyte, #oligodendrocyte, #microglia, #neuro researcher: gliasky, astrocytesky, microglia
But if you also like interactions between celltypes, please help this starter pack get started. Maybe someone can connect all of us in a feed?

Someone had to do it! I created a starter pack for #Alzheimer’s #dementia #ADRD researchers on Bluesky. Please let me know who I left out! Hoping more and more of us will join Bluesky

!WELCOME!

thought we might need a starter pack for all those coming over from the birdhouse - here's a GliaSky list.

apologies for missing many of you - please do reply to get added

and remember to repost so the newbies can find us!

Calling all #pericyte researchers!

Here's a list of us to start a community on Bluesky. Please feel free to reply to get added and share with your colleagues as more join!
