Latest lab preprint! Astrocytes are a brain cell type vulnerable to the effects of stress and the development of psychiatric-like phenotypes in animals, yet how this translates to humans is unclear... so we dived in: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Astrocytes functionally integrate multiple synapses via specialized leaflet domains

We now have a very exciting technician post advertised as part of our long term Wellcome Trust funded team investigating the role of the glycocalyx during CNS inflammation. Supporint the lab, developing glycan analysis and research experience www.jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...
