Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our paper was just published in Nat Comm. First single‑nucleus atlas of human sural nerves in health and disease. Identified lipid‑phagocytosing macrophages and focal perineurial hyperplasia especially in immune-mediated polyneuropathies. rdcu.be/eB2Dg

How are human brain regions connected? Are the connecting axons thicker and more myelinated the longer these connecting fibers are? In our recent paper we find that indeed, they are! Read the skeetorial below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ plos.io/4mq5tOy #neuroscience #neuroskyence #whitematter #deeplearning

Now published in the June issue @natneuro.nature.com I am especially happy that the artwork my 4-year-old son created (with a little help) was chosen for the cover. #Glial cells in diverse hues as paint splotches, CD8+ #Tcells in red, aberrant #myelin in purple. Thanks @elisaflo.bsky.social & team!

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 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?

Not sure what mental short circuit made me search for myelin on spotify, but I’m so glad I did. What I found reignited my old love for vinyl and garage punk and took me back to my student days when I had a band like this - ‚The Myelin Sheaths’ to me sound like a beautiful serendipity of fate.

Wrapped up: advancements in volume electron microscopy and application in myelin research Glad to have contributed a bit to this review! www.degruyter.com/document/doi...

We are excited to present a first large-scale (365,708 nuclei) single cell atlas of human peripheral nerves combined with subcelullar spatial transcriptomics (#Xenium). A www.biorxiv.org/content/11.1... Explore: pns-atlas.mzhlab.com A tweetorial 1/11

I'm over the moon to share that I have been awarded an ERC grant! 🎉✨ - can‘t wait to dive into super exiting projects! #ERCCoG www.uni-leipzig.de/en/newsdetai...

Thrilled that the DFG will fund our NeuroTune graduate school in Leipzig with €5.7M, supporting 5 tandem projects creating over 40 PhD positions. The Stassart/Fledrich lab is proud to host two projects, exploring adaptive myelination in diverse contexts. Stay #NeuroTuned for updates! tiny.cc/3fyvzz
