CANGlia is very happy to join the glial network at Euroglia!

Was so impressed with the exciting glia research going on across Canada showcased at #CANglia yesterday. Especially proud of Jonathan Monteiro for chairing a session & Georgie Craig for winning best oral presentation by a senior trainee!

I am so grateful for the opportunity to have presented at the #CANGlia2025 conference yesterday. It was amazing to connect with others in the field and learn about their research. I presented on prenatal THC exposure and its impacts on microglia. Thank you so much @canglia.bsky.social for having me!

Love these guys 🤩

We are back for our 2nd CANGlia meeting in beautiful Toronto for a day of exciting Glial science! #CANGlia2025

Thank you to Dr. Miron for starting us off with our first #CANGlia2025 lecture today with her exciting data about microglia-oligodendrocyte interactions! @mironlab.bsky.social

🛫 YYJ - YVR - YYZ 🛬 Toronto-bound for @canacn.bsky.social !! Excited to also attend @canglia.bsky.social and @braincanada.bsky.social satellite meetings!! I'll be (the one?) in a pink respirator if you want to say hi 👋 #CAN2025

Learning about perineuronal nets, OPCs and microglia in human tissue with @naguibmechawar.bsky.social CANGlia? #YesTheyCan 🧠

Very exciting talk from Dr. Craig about oligodendrocytes, cognitive decline & aging! #oligos

@lewisholt.bsky.social sharing some cool data about astrocytes driving stress-induced behaviour! #astroglia

Vina Li and her awesome presentation about glial circadian rhythms, pain, and immune interactions in multiple sclerosis!

Huge thank you to one of our generous sponsors, RWD and their informative talk! 🧠🧠🧠

Dr. Adebiyi kicking off our second session with an exciting talk about demyelination and repair! #KeepSmyelin

Sara Fooladi taking us to the retina and discussing her work on Müller glia and regeneration!

Dr. Tian sharing some exciting astrocyte-microglia in vitro work!

Dr. Rosin sharing her exciting work on microglial states and sex differences in response to maternal stress! #microglia

Thank you to Mia Till for closing out our last trainee talk with some prenatal THC exposure research and the impacts on #microglia! Well done to all our trainees today! #CANGlia2025

Another of our generous sponsors, @parse.bsky.social and their talk on Evercode Combinatorial Barcoding! Thank you for supporting #CANGlia2025!

Finishing the day @canglia.bsky.social by a fascinating (and hilarious!) keynote lecture by @lukensjohnr.bsky.social 👌

Thank you for joining us Haley and congratulations again on your award! 😊

Excited to share our latest paper! We argue that in MS, the primary immune attack isn’t on myelin or myelinated axons — but on the ion & water homeostasis machinery in astrocyte endfeet. A short thread on this new perspective 1/11

And the full paper is here - www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1.... Thanks to Dave and Joseph for the nice coverage!

Congratulations to Maja Ramljak on publishing her comprehensive exams as a review in Glial Health Research and many thanks to @blacoste.bsky.social and @argelaguilarvalles.bsky.social and Moises F-A for their awesome contributions.

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Jibran Khokhar @drjkhokhar.bsky.social to our Editorial Board!! Dr. Khokhar's research focuses on the mechanisms underlying co-occurring mental illness & substance use disorders, and assessing how long-term adolescent cannabis use might contribute to disease risk.

Thrilled to see our work published in its final form @Mol. Neurodegeneration. Outstanding work by @terryrsuk.bsky.social and colleagues. Please check-out the "skytorial" below. As always, happy to share reagents (plasmids are being put on @addgene.bsky.social ), mice and other data; just reach out!

🌙✨ Wishing a joyful and blessed Eid al-Fitr to all who celebrate! May this special day bring peace, happiness, and health to you and your loved ones.

Super cool that these are finally out!! Check out some of the protocols we've been using to investigate the role of astrocytes in stress!

Multinucleated astrocytes always look so cool! #FluorescenceFriday

Check out our latest review @cp-trendspharma.bsky.social, outlining emerging pharmacological interventions for #autism and #fragileXsyndrome. A nice collaboration with Amedeo D'Agiulli, Vivian Lee and @salmasolab.bsky.social! #neuroskyence: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Congratulations to Sara Siddiqi for her hard work and perseverance on getting this out....It took so long for this paper to be published that I worried it would no longer be relevant to the audience.....I was very wrong....unfortunately! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
