Happy to share that our paper on new markers of a neurotoxic, reactive astrocyte sub-state is out! Huge thanks to @JunminPengLab, @Calabre04804429, @LiddelowSA, and most of all @fossati_v and @nyscf who made this possible. A 🧵. frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Very excited to share our lab's latest work exploring the shared and divergent aspects of human astrocyte development and glioblastoma. This effort spans many fields from developmental glial biology to stem cells and tumor biology. rdcu.be/d5ADz A 🧵(also come to 🦋!)

Proud to see our image selected for the November @CellStemCell cover, spotlighting two papers from my lab and @Pluchinolab that showcase the power of patient stem cell-derived models to study multiple sclerosis. (1/2)

No longer active on social media, but I had to come back to share the joy for this study. A long journey and a bold goal when I decided a decade ago to use stem cell models to study MS, despite the many challenges. Thanks @TesarLab @bllclayton @liliannebarbar and all co-authors!
Our new study led by @fossati_v & @TesarLab is out in @CellStemCell! We report the largest collection of patient stem cell models of multiple sclerosis & use them to show that glial cells contribute to the disease, pointing to the need for new therapies: nyscf.org/resources/human-st…

“When I grow up, I want to be a __”. Most of us had to answer this question at some point; however, we don’t understand how the nervous system answers it.
We investigated how CNS cells decide what identity (‘job’) they should acquire when they mature (‘grow up’).

today, after i narrowly missed my subway, a woman came up to me and ask if i spoke spanish. i said yes and she asked me how to get to east harlem. i told her that we would be transferring at the same stop, so she should just stick with me. we sat down and started talking

It brings me great pride to share this new preprint from our lab! This was a true team effort spearheaded by the superstar undergraduate (soon to be PhD student @PennNGG) @avoss2022 who pivoted to this project when pandemic rules kept undergrads at home biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
