#Medsky🧪 #IDSky #Immunosky #microsky #neurosky #publichealth The interplay between the gut-immune-brain axis & #COVID is increasingly recognized as a significant factor in the manifestation & progression of #idiopathicParkinson’s disease.

Astrocytes get less attention than their neuronal neighbors, partly because they’re harder to study. But the glial cells could help explain how memories take a more stable form after recall. By @lauren-schneider.com #neuroskyence www.thetransmitter.org/memory/engra...

#DrWho fans, it’s worthwhile checking out the Dr Who exhibit at the #Comicon museum Balboa Park San Diego. Getting ready to join as a panelist one of the panel sessions being held in Sept thru Aug.

Includes guidance on COVID-19 vaccination that differs from fed policy, plus updates to RSV & flu recs.

#sdcc #startrek #scifi Fun Facts

Fun stuff nicely summarized for #neuroskyence #immunosky #medsky. the brain isn’t hidden from the immune system - these 2 systems are full partners. Like any partnership, when it works, life’s great for both mind & body. But when the relationship is dysfunctional, mind & body both suffer.

Wow

www.theatlantic.com/science/arch... Critical read: As noted by a colleague, from the examples in this article, it is amazing how quickly German physics collapsed (and US exploded) after 1934. #academicsky, #neuroskyence , is there time and a route to prevent the collapse of research in the US?

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Good news - short lived, but warning to be alert! #academicsky #neuroskyence

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Excited to share this new paper from the lab, now out in @cp-immunity.bsky.social! Led by the talented @bendevlin.bsky.social and in collab with @anneschaefer.bsky.social. a brief 🧵

It seems that only the science community is noticing that NIH and NSF budgets are cut 40% and 55% in the budget bill, respectively. If you live in Maine, West Va, Pennsylvania, Alabama, or Louisiana, CALL YOUR SENATOR as they could make a difference. See below. prospect.org/politics/202...

Our lab's 1st paper, led by @fchrisbennett.bsky.social & @waisenberg.bsky.social. A decade thinking how to directly assess the impact of microglia replacement. Yrs of hard work. This kind of work is needed to expand brain disease care for kids & the vision for safer, more effective cell therapy.

Thrilled to share my first first-author paper is out @cp-neuron.bsky.social! We show that Alzheimer's disease protective CLU alleles upregulate CLU in response to neuropathology, dampening inflammatory signaling between microglia and astrocytes. Read here www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
