Newest paper from the lab! Serum albumin-induced TGFbeta activation can drive astrocyte senescence. Important considerations for connections between blood brain barrier dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Blood–brain barrier dysfunction promotes astrocyte senescence through albumin‐induced TGFβ signal...

Senescent glia are present in aging brain tissue and play a role in neurological disease progression, but the specific triggers of age-related senescence remain elusive. This study provides evidence...

50k(ish) is right! If you're as surprised by this as me and @npp_journal - you should be! Our LC is about 125% smaller than expected for our neocortex given scaling in other primates. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

While estimates vary a bit across studies depending on methodologies, the human LC contains somewhere in the range of 50K. LC neurons are the primary source of norepinephrine for the brain,
