So excited to see this out and to welcome Jake as the FIRST Ackerman lab postdoc!! Thanks to Cody for his stellar mentorship!
Cody J. Smith@cssmity26 Sep 2023
I am excited for our most recent publication led by Jake Brandt (now postdoc with @SD_Ackerman). Jake's work reveals spontaneous activity in DRG glia in the early phases of its assembly. Interestingly to us, a part of the activity was dependent on mechanical channels. 🧵👇

I’m beyond excited to share our new story published @NeuroCellPress today. First work from @kipnislab using drosophila. @Iverchao1 did a heroic job here 👏|| A novel immune modulator IM33 mediates a glia-gut-neuronal axis that controls lifespan: cell.com/neuron/fulltext/S08…

A novel immune modulator IM33 mediates a glia-gut-neuronal axis that controls lifespan

Xu et al. used Drosophila to identify a novel immune modulator that mediates a brain-gut-brain axis, connecting four aspects of aging: neuroinflammation, dysbiosis, oxidative stress, and sleep...
