Great to see Tram's paper online showing that rTMS increased interneuron activity following demyelination and increased remyelination by new and surviving oligodendrocytes. Thanks to coauthors including @DrCarlieCullen , @AlastairFortune , @LauraReale12 , @Tomlewis2310 .

Check out our new work on how microglia interact with the vasculature through astrocyte end feet using the @AllenInstitute #MICrONS cortical mm^3 dataset! Had a great time working with @Gazz4_Science, @BradASutherland and @SorenGrubb to produce this work!

Thanks to co-authors @BradASutherland @jomaree @DrLachlanSBrown @AlastairFortune @LabGlial @nickomatics @FletcherJL @Jake_Cashion_ and twitterless co-authors Jana Talbot, Alice Pebay, Alex Hewitt, Gary Morris and Tony Cook.

Our latest publication was just released in Stem Cell Research and Therapy, showing gene expression and functional differences between neural crest and mesoderm iPSC-derived pericytes (iPericytes). Check it out here: doi.org/10.1186/s13287…

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position with the Glial Research Team in Hobart, Australia. Please apply online by following this link. careers.utas.edu.au/en/job/499619/…

We're hiring! Come and work with use on understanding the cellular mechanisms of brain dysfunction in MS! careers.utas.edu.au/en/job/499619/… with @LabGlial and @nickomatics

An exciting talk by @AlastairFortune about #MultipleSclerosis-associated gene variants @AusNeuroSoc 2023 in #Brisbane with some beautiful IHC images! @UTAS_ @LabGlial @ANS_Students

Fabulous talk by @BradASutherland at @AusNeuroSoc 2023 in #Brisbane about #pericytes and #microglia in health and disease. @UTAS_ @UTAS_MPH

📢 Exciting news - my latest preprint exploring the impacts of pericyte ablation on behaviour and brain health is out! 🧠🩸🐭 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @BradASutherland @LabGlial Pericytes 🟣 Vessels 🟢 #pericytes #neuroscience (1/3)

Sometimes #pericyte cell culture can get #spooky. Is this #perinormal activity? #HappyHalloween 🎃💀 perivascular.org/our-team @BradASutherland @NatKingScience @jomaree @Jake_Cashion_

We found substantial differences in gene expression between iPericytes of different lineages. We also found iPericytes proliferate in response to PDGF-BB and respond to vasoactive mediators endothelin-1 and adenosine, with some lineage specific differences in their response (3/3)

We are excited to present our most recent preprint, outlining gene expression differences and functionality of mesoderm and neural crest iPSC-derived pericytes (iPericytes) in comparison to human brain vascular pericytes (HBVPs) biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/3)

Join us next Friday for a workshop facilitated by @BradASutherland's Perivascular Research Group! This workshop aims to provide insight in successfully developing an engaging and scientific literate presentation that will ‘WOW’ the audience. Check your email for a zoom link!
