I am excited to announce our work on how myelin loss culminates in neurodegeneration has been published at Nature Communications. While I have previously covered our findings as a preprint in more detail below, our key findings are:

Today we introduce human neural loop #assembloids created from 4 parts derived from stem cells to study the cortico-striato-midbrain-thalamo-cortical pathway and to model neurodevelopmental disease
Work led by the remarkable Ji-Il Kim
and Yuki Miura in the lab. Also in collaboration with the @marius10p lab at @HHMIJanelia

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! Together with @ZucheroLab, I am excited to build molecular circuits within oligodendrocytes to activate myelin repair, and to understand and reverse their contribution to disease.
Congrats to the five teams awarded Synthetic Neuroscience Grants to advance tools for studying brain circuits. Tackling challenges that require interdisciplinary expertise, $1.24M was awarded by Wu Tsai Neuro, @Stanford_ChEMH, and @StanfordBioX.

Can blocking the kynurenine pathway, a key regulator in brain metabolism, improve brain function in Alzheimer’s? Research by Katrin Andreasson and her team, with support from Knight Initiative, suggests it could.

Drs. Brad Zuchero (@ZucheroLab) & @HusniyeKantarci and their collaborators discovered that neurons require signaling from glia to become fully excitable. Their findings were featured on the front cover of @cellpressnews.

Technology focus issue out now 👉 cell.com/cell/current
Continuing the #50YearsofCell celebrations, we're now highlighting impactful technologies that not only revolutionize our understanding of biology or disease but also increase the number of people who can participate in and benefit from the forefront of research.
In this issue, you’ll find reviews on technologies ranging from spatiotemporal omics to eDNA and perspectives from researchers in a wide variety of fields, including a Voices article, co-published by Trends in Biotechnology and Cell, on in vitro human cell-based models.

I’m glad I did it but this was a tough interview for me. Hopefully it doesn’t come off as too much “woe is me” and more like “no matter how tough things are for us sometimes, we can all do great and impactful things if we set our minds to it”. today.ucsd.edu/story/the-lon…
