The #TarakhovskyLab, as part of an international team of scientists, has identified a new molecular pathway that shifts microglia into a protective state. The findings may lead to Alzheimer's therapies that can reprogram the brain’s own immune defenses.

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance. "If I give in and consent to these kinds of tactics then it just normalizes it all." 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

Excited to share this new story from the lab and led by the very talented @bendevlin.bsky.social! In collab with Anne Schaefer and grateful for funding from NIH and @curealzheimersfund.bsky.social. a brief 🧵

My immediate thoughts on the most monstrous, immoral piece of legislation I’ve ever voted on in the Senate. But I’m not done fighting. I know you aren’t either.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

Trump & my Republican colleagues want to throw 16 million Americans off health care – on top of 85 million who are uninsured or underinsured. Their actions will cause more than 50,000 Americans to die unnecessarily each year. Why? So they can give massive tax breaks to the 1%.

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

Every scientist should discuss the consequences of the NIH and NSF grant terminations and delays and failure to fund at their home institution at the end of a talk or seminar. Even if a scientist’s own funding is not threatened, I GUARANTEE there is someone at their institution affected.

Scialog was a great experience! And now we get to do some cool science based on the ideas born in Tucson.

Why do the brain’s professional phagocytes stop clearing amyloid in Alzheimer’s disease? Can we restore microglial superpowers & rescue dying neurons in AD? YES, by stopping DGAT2-mediated lipid droplet formation! Checkout our latest manuscript @cp-immunity.bsky.social 👇🏼 www.cell.com/immunity/abs...

Just found out that @queenscollegecuny.bsky.social #NIH U-Rise grant for undergraduate research opportunities has been cancelled. More important than ever to attend this webinar.

Yes Leen and Anna!

We've been tracking unlawful NIH grant terminations for 3 weeks. Spread the word👇! Fellow PIs: what can you do upon termination? ✅ Email PO + document questions ✅ Submit FOIA ✅ Advocate to your OCG/OSP for appeal + litigation ✅ Consider outside litigation ✅ Donate to state AGs + legal orgs 1/🧵
