A mouse hippocampus labeled for oligodendrocytes 🟡, myelin 🔵, and nuclei ⚪️. You can appreciate how the distribution of myelin and oligodendrocytes is not homogeneous in the overall hippocampal formation. #FluorescenceFriday

Homeostatic microglia initially seed and activated microglia later reshape amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s Disease This further adds to the mounting evidence that microglia are perhaps much better at Aβ plaque formation than plaque clearance. What a fantastic study 🤩

Super proud of this one 🤩 Thank you to all my co-authors! Read it here now: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
