'Defining multipotent intermediate progenitors in cortical development' Nardos Kebede & Steven Sloan @Sloan_Lab cell.com/trends/neurosc…

@Daniel_D_Liu @TrendsNeuro Hi Dan! Names are easy enough to align. You've done the hard work of helping to tease out the biology. Hope you're well!

@Sloan_Lab @TrendsNeuro Fantastic review! Guilty of having added to this nomenclature mess myself, but if anything it reassures me we're all converging on something real.

Neurodevelopment is such a fun field because so much is new to explore and define. But also that means it can be unclear. In our new review out this week @TrendsNeuro, we try to synthesize the confusing field of neural intermediate progenitors authors.elsevier.com/a/1msKvbotqBbY0

Beautifully crafted by the talented Nardos Kebede in the lab. Hope you enjoy!

We also discuss a bit about how these progenitors can be defined, and the molecular signatures that label them as well as drive their differentiation trajectories.

There's so much more packed into this work, so please check it out as we continue to investigate these questions!!! This is all possible because of an amazing scientific collaborative team at @EmoryGenetics, @BrainOrg_Hub, and our funders at @NIH.

We think there are important implications here. Can astrocyte reactivity be reversed in the setting of neurologic disease? Why do astrocytes present peptides via MHCII? Is this pro- or anti-inflammatory for T-cells???

Not here often, but came to share science! New work from our team out today @NeuroCellPress , led by the incredible Dr. Emily Hill. Including some exciting additions from our prepint. Thread below! authors.elsevier.com/a/1ms0u3BtfHGo…

This work is only possible because of amazing collaborators @yezhangyezhang @BhaduriLab @FaundezLab, funding @EmoryHERCULES, and support @EmoryGenetics @EmoryMedicine

New lab preprint led by incredibly talented postdoc Maureen Sampson. Full thread at 🦋! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… In the US, approximately 2.5% of pregnant women exhibit high blood Lead (Pb) levels (!!!) What is the consequence of this on the developing human brain?
