Hot off the press from our lab! Proud to share with you our latest work by Ximerakis et al. where we look at the effects of heterochronic parabiosis in the aging brain and show changes in the transcriptomic profile of some of your *favorite* cell types. 🧠 doi.org/10.1101/2022.01.27.4…

Replying to @alviratyagi
@alviratyagi , a 2nd year undergrad in our lab, recently attended the Northeast Regional Meeting of the Society for Developmental Biology (NESDB) with Kaylee Wells her postdoc mentor. Alvira presented her work on the potential role of the protein GDF11 on myelination during aging
