📢We are recruiting postdocs at the Albany Medical College to work on Schwann cells and the peripheral nervous system. 👉Apply here: albanymed.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Albany... Or contact us directly ;)

alert! fundamental myelin biology - led by the amazing Yevgeniya Mironova and Dwight Bergles www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

King's cake day in the Myelin Lab!

We identified how mechanical forces shape myelin development. The TMEM63A channel in oligodendrocytes converts physical cues into molecular signals that control myelin growth. Oligodendrocyte mechanotransduction channel TMEM63A regulates myelin sheath geometry: Neuron www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

Pleased to share that I’ve been awarded a Catalyst Award from the @mssocietyuk.bsky.social 🥳 Many thanks to the MS Society UK for supporting our research in the @almeidalab.bsky.social and helping to advance understanding of MS!

If you are attending #SfN25, please join @amygleichman.bsky.social and I on Monday at 9PM for a casual social gathering to discuss all things non-neuronal! Date: Monday, Nov 17th Time: 9PM till close Location: The Smoking Gun SD, 555 Market St. All welcome, please free to spread the word!

Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Pewter Howitt share economics prize for work that underlines the importance of investing in research and development. go.nature.com/4hj9NNV

NSAIDs are known to alleviate pain by reducing inflammation. A study in Nature Communications shows that selective inhibition of the prostaglandin E2 receptor in Schwann cells eliminates pain without disrupting the protective and healing functions of inflammation. #medsky 🧪

Remyelinated fibers have a distinct lipid profile compared to intact myelin www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Paper Alert!! Our collaborative work with Giger Lab at UMich is out now in #ScienceTranslationMedicine Deletion of murine Sarm1 results in a microenvironment that delays peripheral nerve regeneration after injury | Science Translational Medicine @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to three scientists for discovering a class of immune cells that help to prevent the body from attacking its own tissues go.nature.com/48QDdAJ

"Post-Synaptic Density Proteins in Oligodendrocytes are Required for Activity-Dependent Myelin Sheath Growth" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🚀 Our new paper is out in Nature Communications! We uncovered a mechanistic switch to boost myelination: deleting Gtf2i in myelinating glia enhances Sox10/Mbp activity → thicker myelin, faster conduction, improved motor coordination. Open access link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our new paper on metformin, myelin, mitochondria and metabolism is now out at rdcu.be/eDbFD Thanks to Nina and all of the team!

Now online! Transient gene melting governs the timing of oligodendrocyte maturation

Emerging connections between myelin and Alzheimer’s disease www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very excited by the updates to the PNS fellowship! pnsociety.com/pns-training...

Successful networking event for Peripheral Gliaphiles & friends #glia2025 #marseille

Euroglia is open !! #Glia2025

Karolinska is looking for 20 (!!) assistant professors and offering 6 year appointments with ~1M USD startup packages. ki.se/en/about-ki/...

Happy to share our latest publication on subcellular myelin proteomics and structural changes in Alzheimer disease www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are extremely proud to announce that in the last weeks we received the support of two terrific associations. First, Katie Lewis received the 2025 Peripheral Nerve Society Laura Feltri Basic Science fellowship, and will join our team for her postdoc to study axon-Schwann cell interactions 1/3

If you have some interest in Peripheral Glia, join us at the Black Stone on Tuesday July 8th! RSVP: amc.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

For those who want a distraction and/ or are interested, here's the latest from the group, led by Phil Braaker www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨Next week, we are taking over The Peripheral Nerve Society account. Stay tuned to gain some insights into our lab! #PNSociety1 #Albany #PNS2025

Can 2–4 hours of intense exercise really deplete brain myelin by nearly a third? Myelin water fraction isn’t the same as myelin, and this bold claim needs far more evidence. (Good thing marathon runners don’t seem to suffer cognitive issues!)

The brain myelin content in marathon runners “This study offers the striking observation that extreme exercise has a profound effect in the brain that is reflected in reversible structural alterations" @naturemetabolism.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s42... www.nature.com/articles/s42...

The STRIPAK complex is required for radial sorting and laminin receptor expression in Schwann cells

Do women exhibit less cognitive decline because they can better maintain myelin due to Plp expression from the silent X chromosome?

I wish my US colleagues and friends will have better times and I'm supporting them with all my heart. That said, there's also a possibility to come and be my colleague in beautiful Marseille! www.404media.co/french-unive...
