Curling kick off 2026 of our Molecular Neurobiology unit @ki.se! @hjerling-leffler.bsky.social @onurdagliyan.bsky.social @patrikernfors.bsky.social @matzag.bsky.social @gvolkmer.bsky.social ...and many others!

A super intense and fantastic sunny week in Alicante discussing single cell and spatial omics in the CNS! Thanks all the students for lots of discussions, great flash talks and lots of fun in the social activities, the local organizers, aka @silviadesantis.bsky.social and my co-chair Ana Falcão.

This week, the #FENS-Hertie #WinterSchool 2025-2026, “Single-Cell and Spatial Omics to Understand Brain Heterogeneity”, is taking place in Alicante. 🇪🇸 🧠 Monday's programme kicked off with a session led by Bosiljka Tasic, followed by Gabriel Santpere Baró, and a roundtable discussion.

Now online! Anoctamin-2-specific T cells link Epstein-Barr virus to multiple sclerosis

My 2025 soundtrack, with the music I was listening to for our papers, preprints, etc, including Sonic Surf City's Surfing Santa (by Ola Hermanson)... for Ola. open.spotify.com/playlist/5ts... Happy Xmas and 2026!

SciLifeLab PULSE postdoc program, our lab can be one of the hosts!

Physiology or Medicine Nobel Lectures 2025 at @ki.se , with the key experiments and notes leading to the Tregs discovery!

First paper from the lab is now online @natneuro.nature.com ! We mapped injury induced enhancers in the mouse CNS and decoded their sequence architecture. Little 🧵 rdcu.be/eSQi1

🧬 Gonçalo Castelo-Branco | Plenary Speaker How do glial cells influence disease and brain repair? On 10 July at #FENS2026, join Prof. Gonçalo Castelo-Branco to explore the molecular mechanisms behind #oligodendrocyte lineage cells in development and #neuroinflammatory diseases.

A new study in @natneuro.nature.com by @gocastelobranco.bsky.social et al explores how oligodendrocytes respond in #MultipleSclerosis. The researchers identified distinct and early disease-related states and gene activity patterns that may help explain how #MS progresses 🧪 news.ki.se/oligodendroc...

Our paper, driven by Chao Zheng and Bastien Hervé in the lab @ki.se, is now out in @natneuro.nature.com! Check it out at: www.nature.com/articles/s41... with @pkukanja.bsky.social, @deckardw.bsky.social, among others

🧪Move over CUT&Tag, there’s a new #TranscriptionFactor mapping method in town. Our newly developed DynaTag is faster, cleaner, more sensitive than #ChIPseq, #CUT&RUN and #CUT&Tag. 🔗 Our @natcomms.nature.com paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵Let’s break down what makes DynaTag so powerful (1/7)
