The transcription factor LHX2 suppresses astrocyte proliferation in the postnatal mammalian cerebral cortex Read this #LifelongDevSI #OA Research Report by Archana Iyer @Arch_eee, Shubha Tole @shubhatole and colleagues @TIFR_Bio journals.biologists.com/dev/…
Figure 2 - Differential proliferation of upper layer (UL) and deep layer (DL) astrocytes, panels B (left) and C (right). Left: At P5, KI67 immunostaining shows increased proliferation of Ai9+ cells in the control UL (10%±1.61) versus the control DL (3%±1.2, **P=0.0054). Right: This is further increased in the mutant UL (17%±1.52, **P=0.002) but not in the mutant DL (3%±1.07, P=0.8).

I had the privilege of witnessing an awe-inspiring session on resilience, courage and determination from young people who as children had battled with cancer. This post is about a home that enabled their survival and nurtured hope. open.substack.com/pub/archy0…

This is not just an update. This is also an appeal. 🆘 We stepped out of our comfort zone & conducted sessions in *two* tribal schools (आदिवासी शाळा) in जवाहर, Maharashtra. It reinforced why we must do this. Read on to know about our experience & how u can help.👇@IndiaBioscience

Hidden sugar, salt & fat, but especially sugar is killing us! The rates of rise of #diabetesmellitus in low income families is terrifying. We need to change our #diets, #foodsystems to deliver for people’s health. Behaviour change also key, along with policy levers

A novel test of honeybees’ waggle dancing shows that they can learn to do it better. sciencenews.org/article/bee-…

Honeybees waggle to communicate. But to do it well, they need dance lessons

Young honeybees can’t perfect waggling on their own after all. Without older sisters to practice with, youngsters fail to nail distances.

I will be talking about atypical astrocytes this Tursday! Join me to have a fun discussion about what happens to astrocytes when the BBB is disrupted. Reminder: the US changed to summer time, but Europe hasn't yet. That means that it will be at 11 am EST, 10 CST and 8 PST.

My main conclusion from yesterday (kind of sad in my opinion): A significant percentage of the scientific community doesn't think ideas are a real thing that should be credited and value ideas less than hard work* *based on hundreds of replies to our commentary

Chuckling at my 4yr old asking “is that an ASTO CITE??”(looking at my image analysis pane) I had told her that it sits inside the brain & helps her think. Funny she knows about astrocytes before neurons! Would be cool to write a non pedantic fun book for kids on these 🧠 cells
