Don was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

Ageing promotes microglial accumulation of slow-degrading synaptic proteins - Nature Newly developed mouse models that enable cell-specific analyses of proteostasis dynamics across the lifespan of the mice reveal key aspects of neuronal proteostasis with ageing.

Does the neuronal ‘aggregome’ explain neurodegeneration? A ne study from the Wyss-Coray lab suggest so using a novel methodology

There is currently not much free r secondary progressive MS, unfortunately. But we’re working on it from different angles 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Thank you for your reply Shannon! It’s impressive how nature works. Sorry to hear that the disease relapsed though

A GDF-15–GFRAL axis controls autoimmune T cell responses during neuroinflammation - Nature Immunology Here the authors show that endogenous or therapeutically delivered GDF-15 activates brainstem neurons that trigger splenic β-adrenergic signaling. This, in turn, suppresses autoreactive T cells and re...

Coo study showing how pregnancy reduces #MS relapses by 80%. Mechanisms: Specialized brainstem neurons detect the fetal signal GDF-15 and specifically dampen inflammatory cells through the sympathetic nervous system—preventing their entry into the CNS.
