🚨 New preprint on bioRxiv!
Pericyte loss triggers hypoperfusion, BBB dysfunction, endothelial VCAM-1/type I IFN activation, venular-like transitions & delayed white matter injury linked to human cSVD signatures.
Congrats team!

Great labs and great people! #PhD
Interested in pursuing a PhD with @dickie_ben, @HAT_Pritchard, and me to explore the role of mural cells in Alzheimer’s disease?
Feel free to apply or share this opportunity widely!

I grew up in a very confusing household
We were raised catholic but the toaster was in the cupboard
I don't know what I am

Dear Sci Twitter: with which journals have you had the fastest turnaround from submission to publication? For cellular/molecular neuroscience. How long did it take? Please RT (We have a small long-read dataset we'd like to submit to the community, very interesting but focussed)
Very lucky to get to talk about our research in the #vascular at this year's ECaT day @UKDRI @UKDRI_ECR #connectome2024 . incredibly privileged to show all the amazing working going on the @MontagneLab
I know what next for @MontagneLab journal club! This looks really interesting!!

Four followers off 3k, madness! I don’t tweet as often as I’d like but I’m still here.

A fun @MontagneLab get together Sunday which marks the end of Summer (at least here in Scotland) with awesome people 😍, good food 🍤, nice drinks 🍷, and fun games 🀄️
Love my lab 🥰

They don’t. Believe me. Why do you talk such utter shite? And why are you morphing into a sovereign individual
anarcho-capitalist narcissist with fascist leanings? Some journey you’ve been on.
Never even liked science anyway.

I love the question could you fight a chicken every time you got into your car or a tiger once a year?
Because anyone who says the tiger,
dead to me immediately,
like mid convo,
like " il, take the tig." And I'm walking away
be better

That was a busy morning at #FENS2024! So heartened to see all the interest in our work, and also managed to catch up with friends at the same time ☺️
