Excited to announce our study (w/ @RukmanThota & @MaxKrummel) published today @Nature: Macrophages “hold our living identities” by taking tiny bites from living cells and presenting this information to CD8 T cells. nature.com/articles/s4158… #immunology #cellbiology @immunox @ucsf

Somatic cancer variants enriched in Alzheimer’s disease microglia-like cells drive inflammatory and proliferative states: Cell cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

I am very happy to share that our paper is now published in @Nature 😊 Cell-type-targeted mitochondrial transplantation rescues cell degeneration. nature.com/articles/s4158… @IOB_ch (1/6)

Just updated my HHMI Gilliam Fellowship application guide for the 2026 competition, which brings major program changes. Int'l PhD students can now apply. MD-PhDs are eligible. & a new postdoc pathway that can extend HHMI support up to 7 years total. yaelcourtney.com/resources-and-…

Giving a talk soon on open box science + microglia taking the road less traveled. We started with a question about how tissue-resident macrophages develop and ended up uncovering a distinct regulatory program: Maf and Jun drive Zeb2 during primitive hematopoiesis.

The Orange Cat Brain Atlas is here. 🧠🐈 Today, we published the first comprehensive cellular map of the orange cat brain. The new atlas reveals a single, specialized neuron responsible for behaviors like staring at walls, knocking objects off tables, and the 3am "zoomies."

Our live tissue clearing paper is out in @naturemethods! We achieved optical clearing of mammalian brain tissues without compromising normal neuronal function. Big congrats to @Shigenori774 and our wonderful collaborators! 🎉 nature.com/articles/s4159… (1/10)

@LuLiu_Laura Thank you Lu! And hope our newest version brings more fun to you :D

@DuSiling @NeuroCellPress @kipnislab @TheColonnaLab Nice work. I have read that manuscript when it was on BioRxiv. Congratulations!

🧵Excited to share my thesis work out today in @NeuroCellPress from @kipnislab and @TheColonnaLab: "Brain-Engrafted Monocyte-derived Macrophages from Blood and Skull-Bone Marrow Exhibit Distinct Properties." 🧠🦴 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
