Excited that the work from the talented Dr. Sameera Zia is now out. Blood, sweat, and tears went into this one. An amazing job. rdcu.be/ePyQm

Looking forward to this:

CSF1R ligands promote microglial proliferation but are not the sole regulators of developmental microglial proliferation Read this #LifelongDevSI Research Article by Brady P. Hammond, Jason Plemel @jrplemel.bsky.social and colleagues: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

🧪

Three in two weeks. Could not be more proud of the newly minded Dr. Sameera Zia after successfully defending her PhD yesterday. This bright young star will do amazing things! Also, a huge thanks to @nachoriko.bsky.social for making the trip to Edmonton to serve as an external examiner

CSF1R ligands promote microglial proliferation but are not the sole regulators of developmental microglial proliferation Read this Research Article from our special issue on lifelong development #LifelongDevSI, by Brady Hammond, @jrplemel.bsky.social & co.: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Excited to get going for the 2025 #endMS_SummerSchool ! It takes a village! Look at all the welcome packages for those who make this event happen

Two in one week! An amazing MSc Defence for Rebecca John, co-supervised by Karim Fouad and myself.

Super proud of Brady Hammond for successfully defending his PhD today. Well done Brady!

Just out, recent work from the Plemel lab by the talented Brady Hammond. We sought to understand the factors that regulate microglial proliferation during development. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Exciting work from @blurtonjoneslab.bsky.social + Spitale labs -- new examples of how iPSC-microglia can be used as a long-term, in vivo platform for a therapeutic protein payload in models of Alzheimer’s disease @cp-cellstemcell.bsky.social sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1934590925000992

Congratulations to all accepted SS & SPRINT applicants. The application quality was outstanding but sadly we are unable to accept everyone. A truly national🍁program. Can't wait to meet you in Edmonton. @ualberta.bsky.social, @jrplemel.bsky.social, @rimuhc.bsky.social, @healthsciences.mcgill.ca

Check out this exciting work by @philgrossphd.bsky.social in the @jkhuang.bsky.social lab! Thanks for asking us to be a part of it

Bye bye 👋🏽 🇺🇸 beer, wine, & liquor The scene at our local LCBO #capoli

I knew this would happen, but it's still surreal to hear another nation's leader talk to us in a televised address the way US presidents have historically spoken to the citizens of countries led by dictators and despots.

I hope you haven’t missed this awesome new study by @caromenard666.bsky.social’s team, where the dreamy keys worlds #astrocyte and #BloodBrainBarrier coexist 🤩🥰

Check out a recent paper by Karim Fouad and my groups examining how reawakening inflammation in the chronically injured spinal cord using lipopolysaccharide induces diverse microglial states

Oligodendrocyte precursor cells facilitate neuronal lysosome release

Wise words from another Nobel laureate.

Cool new manuscript from the Huang lab!!

Old article but poignant as ever. Success in science is far more than science alone.

Extrasinusoidal macrophages are a distinct subset of immunologically active dural macrophages www.science.org/doi/full/10....

congratulations to @pryprk.bsky.social for her recent review article in #GLIA on the role of lipids in microglial function. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

How to make the most out of PostDoc time? www.cell.com/trends/cell-... "In summary, start early, do research, build a network, establish your niche, and apply for funding of your own."

Homeostatic microglia initially seed and activated microglia later reshape amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s Disease This further adds to the mounting evidence that microglia are perhaps much better at Aβ plaque formation than plaque clearance. What a fantastic study 🤩
