We are finally moving to Bluesky as well! Hopefully seeing many of you from here over there too! I’m looking forward to exciting science posts and discussions. @knoblochlab.bsky.social

Dear #LipidDroplet friends, we just launched the website for the next #EMBOLipidDroplets Workshop in September 2025. Check out the amazing lineup of speakers. Abstract submission deadline is 10 June 2025. Hope to see many of you there! #organelles meetings.embo.org/event/25-lipid…

🚨#JobAlert🚨 Join us in Geneva @unige_en! We have an open #postdoc position starting in 2025. If you are interested in studying chromatin regulation and working with brain organoids, apply now! #sciencejobs More info: unige.ch/medecine/gede/…

Our Faculty Position Opportunity in Metabolism in the school of Life Sciences at EPFL is still open...If your main research topic is metabolism (wet or dry lab), have a look and apply! Women, please also apply 😉, we need you here!💪 epfl.ch/about/working/…

#Job alert! Are you searching for a #PhD position? Are you a #microglia lover and want to study these cells in #neurodegeneration? Join our team in the beautiful #Lausanne! Send me your CV, a motivation letter and two reference letters by Sept 28: rosachiara.paolicelli@unil.ch

We can now detect them (almost) as good as in the tdTom-Plin2 mouse with commercially available reagents! And we found an absolutely stunning number of #LipidDroplets in the normal aged mouse brain! Have a look at Figure 6/Suppl. Fig.5/6!

After seeing so many #LipidDroplets in the healthy young brain with our fluorescent LD reporter mouse (rdcu.be/dMdQ9), we wondered why they have not been seen in young brains from wildtype mice.

biorxiv.org/content/10.110…   Check out our newest manuscript on #BioRxiv, where we provide an optimized method to visualize lipid droplets in wildtype mouse brain tissue! A special congrats goes to the shared first authors @PhDPetrelli and @Alicia__Rey!

@DoetschLab @denisjabaudon @LudovicTelley 5.) We also show that LDs in the developing mouse brain are abundant and react dynamically to exogenous lipids, using ex vivo live imaging. In summary, a great tool to study the role of LDs in the brain, from development, adult to aging! This will keep us busy for years!! 😊

@DoetschLab @denisjabaudon @LudovicTelley 4.) We demonstrate that this approach can be combined with subsequent scRNA Sequencing and show that there is a population of microglia that already contain many LDs at 2 month of age.

rdcu.be/dMdQ9   Excited and proud to see the final version of our manuscript out @NatureComms, describing a new lipid droplet reporter mouse, which allows staining-free fluorescent visualization of #LipidDroplets!! Check out how numerous they are in the brain!

Eurogenesis is back! 🔥 Join us in Bordeaux, France from June 12th-14th for Eurogenesis 2024 - an immersive experience in adult neurogenesis research. Save the date for groundbreaking discoveries and insightful discussions! Register at: eurogenesis.sciencesconf.org #Eurogenesis2024
