🧠 Check out our new study! Cécile Bridlance et al. reveal how distinct, local, and cell-type–specific sources of CSF-1 orchestrate microglial colonization during early brain development. 🙏🙏🙏 A big thank you to everyone involved!

Mark your calendars! The 28th Meeting of the French Glial Cell Club will take place Nov 17–20, 2026, in Sète. 🔹 Plenary lectures by Fiona Doetsch & Leda Dimou 🔹 5 symposia on glial diversity, astrocytes, human glia, EVs & modeling 👉 Full program available on our website: frenchglialcellclub.fr

Interested in the heterogeneity of blood vessels in the CNS? Here we review the unique features of the spinal cord vasculature, its barrier properties and neurovascular interactions, highlighting unknown aspects and future research directions. @CRC1366 @erc.europa.eu @immunosens.bsky.social

1/ 💡We are excited to share our latest paper, continuing our exploration of how maternal obesity programs offspring health via #macrophages - this time using #Drosophila as a model: shorturl.at/28tFo #MaternalObesity #Drosophila #Neurodegeneration #DOHaD #FlyResearch #MacrophageBiology

🧠 New book chapter out! We review the developmental origin and functional diversity of #microglia - key players at the crossroads of #immunity and #neurodevelopment. 🔹 Ontogeny & specialization 🔹 Transcriptional & metabolic shifts 🔹 Roles in disease & repair 👉 authors.elsevier.com/a/1lKxcErwXf...

We are SO EXCITED to share our story @nature.com: 🧵1/ Maternal obesity reprograms fetal liver macrophages, triggering adult fatty liver disease in the offspring. This study uncovers how Kupffer cells act as intergenerational messengers in metabolic disease. 👉 Read here: rdcu.be/erD3b

#NewResearch from the #VcoelhoSantosLab and #ShihLab used #two-photon live imaging to reveal how #microglia 🧠 evolve across across #lifespan. Key findings: 👶 Neonatal: Active but clumsy 🧍‍♂️ Adult: Calm but sharp 👵 Aged: Quiet and slow @ucoimbra.bsky.social @lacaixa.bsky.social

We are pleased to announce that the registration for the 2nd Young Glial Cell Day which will take place in Montpellier on May 13, 2025! 👉 club-de-cellules-gliales.assoconnect.com/collect/desc... Abstract submissions for oral and poster presentations will close on March 28, 2025. See you soon!

#StandUpForScience Science not silence!

We stand in solidarity with the #StandUpForScience movement and with all researchers working in the United States, where academic freedom is currently being challenged.

✨ We tend to think of species-specific differences as resulting from the presence of species-specific genes. In our latest work with @djabaudon.bsky.social, we show that building brains is not only about which genes you use, but also about when and where you do. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
