World first: brain implant lets man speak with expression — and sing Device translates thought to speech in real time.

This was science fiction not long ago. Now it's a reality:
Brain-computer interface decodes language and reproduces it with nuances (tone, etc). I wonder how long until they can decode thoughts and show them as images/videos.

Black Mirror stuff!

Microglia regulate myelin clearance and cholesterol metabolism after demyelination via interferon regulatory factor 5 - Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is a transcription factor that plays a role in orchestrating innate immune responses, particularly in response to viral infections. Notably, IRF5 has been identif...

Happy to be part of this beautiful work from Maria Domercq and Alejandro Montilla.
The paper explores the role of microglia in myelin clearance after demyelination, and how lipid accumulation in mice without IRF5 (immune response-related) impairs remyelination.

Science "non-fiction"...

Super interesting symposium and great discussion at #NWG2025.

Thanks Egor and Alexander and Constanze for the invitation and the delicious lunch under the spring sun of Göttingen.

Ready for some Extracellular Matrix science at Göttingen, within the German Neuroscience Society meeting. #NWG2025

This is next Tuesday!

Researchers created sound that can bend itself through space, reaching only your ear in a crowd By combining ultrasound with a concept called nonlinear acoustics, you can create sound that stays silent until it reaches a specific location.

"What if you could listen to music without headphones and without disturbing anyone around you?"
Audible enclaves... localized pockets of sound that are isolated from their surroundings.

Viral-mediated fluorescent labeling of hyaluronan reveals extracellular matrix dynamics in the mouse brain in vivo The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the brain is primarily composed of the glycan polymer hyaluronan (HA), a core scaffold that nucleates proteoglycans forming a self-assembled matrix that acts as struc...

We are happy to present AAV-Ncan-GFP, a genetically-encoded fluorescent probe for live #imaging of the extracellular matrix in the mouse brain.

Stay tuned for the peer-reviewed version, with more insights on live #ECM monitoring by two-photon microscopy!

Great opportunity!

Hola Bluesky científico. Soy totalmente nuevo aquí.

Como funciona? (Hashtags, menciones, todo eso es igual?)

Cual es la principal diferencia con la red social innombrable?

Gracias 🙂
