Excited to share the latest study on peripheral nerve repair by the Stassart/Fledrich lab! See how Schwann cells communicate with adipocytes to adjust their metabolism for successful regeneration. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Dear fellow scientists, please come to Bluesky. It’s a beautiful place medpagetoday.com/special-report…

Thrilled that the DFG will fund our #NeuroTune graduate school in Leipzig with €5.7M for 5 tandem projects creating over 40 PhD positions. The Stassart/Fledrich lab is proud to host two projects, exploring adaptive myelination in diverse contexts. tiny.cc/3fyvzz

@AOSasmita @NatureNeuro Great study + fantastic tweetorial! Congrats Andrew!

Thrilled to have part of my PhD out @NatureNeuro ✨ Oligodendrocytes (OL) contribute to Aβ plaque burden alongside excitatory neurons, the latter crucial for local & distal plaque seeding. Also shown is the non-linearity between Aβ levels and plaque load. nature.com/articles/s4159…

A beautiful study showing how PMP22 affects the lipid metabolism of Schwann cells in CMT1A.

@Rob_Prior1991 Congratulations Rob, great work!

I'm very proud that my main study from my PhD is finally out in the journal Brain! This was a huge collaborative project that took several years but I'm happy with the result!

@ClaraMutschler @TrinCollCam @Cambridge_Uni Congratulations Dr. Clara, the doctoral robe looks like it's made for you!

Officially ✨Dr✨ Mutschler now @TrinCollCam @Cambridge_Uni

@Rob_Prior1991 @CBD_VIB @AlessioSilva7 @LuVaDeBo Rob, thank you for saying this. I had an awesome time in Leuven with amazing company, mouthwatering Belgian food, and tons of fun!

I had the pleasure of attending a talk by @RFledrich hosted by @CBD_VIB yesterday! A true inspiration and one of the most passionate scientists you'll ever meet! The talk delved into the complex crosstalk between fat cells and the peripheral nervous system. Lipids are amazing!

Happy to share that my PhD project found a home with @EmboMolMed! We pharmacologically and genetically modified aberrant myelin growth in rodent models of PMP22 gene dosage diseases. Details below 🧵

We are looking for a postdoc to investigate behavioural & functional correlates in zebrafish with mutations in autism genes. Great opportunity to develop a new research direction towards studying the role of glia in neurodevelopmental disorders. Please RT elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

@pepegosaelx @redglial @MyelinAlicante @isabial_iis Congratulations Jose!

Feeling deeply honored and committed to have been selected as a board member of the Spanish Glial Network (@redglial ). Eager to ensure Schwann cells and myelin receive the recognition they deserve and collaborate for collective impact. #glia @MyelinAlicante @isabial_iis

@aiman_saab @NatureNeuro @zainabfaik Fantastic!! Congrats Zoe, Aiman and the whole team!

Excited to announce that our paper on activity- and potassium-mediated metabolic coupling between oligodendrocytes and axons is now published @NatureNeuro congrats to Zoe Looser, @zainabfaik, the whole team and co-authors for this achievement! nature.com/articles/s4159…

@MyelinLab this makes me excited, go for it!! :)

@RFledrich TY Robert. The R01 is on Pmp2 :D!!!

Sophie posting today: 🥳I'm thrilled to share that I've received an R01 award!!! This accomplishment brings me immense pride, as it signifies recognition from my peers for years of dedicated research and perseverance.

Happy to be part of this nice review in Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology with @ruth_stassart and Alison Lloyd cshperspectives.cshlp.org/content/early/… @isabial_iis @NeuroAlc

@ZucheroLab @NatureComms @_manasi_iyer_ Congratulations Brad!

Delighted to share our latest work “Oligodendrocyte calcium signaling is required for actin-dependent myelin sheath extension” was published online today @NatureComms! Led by former grad student, @_manasi_iyer_! (1/n)

With the passing of Laura Feltri we lost a valued colleague who made incredible contributions to PNS research and beyond. She leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

🚨We are hiring at the postdoctoral level. 🚨 RT very much appreciated!🤗

Injury to peripheral #nerves in the body can result in pain and movement disorders. Scientists at #UniLeipzig have recently investigated how damaged nerves can regenerate better. Fatty tissue supports the healing process. #Medicine @RFledrich uni-leipzig.de/en/newsdetail/…

@DoctorPAF @ClaraMutschler Congratulations Dr. Clara, you did it!! 🎉
