@SSebastianChoi Thank you, Sebastian!

@SunLab19 @WertLaboratory @Dani_B1256 Congrats y’all!

Excited to share our recent PNAS paper (led by @Dani_B1256): pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…, where we discovered the mechanisms governing myelin integrity during the onset of myelination. We are grateful to collaborate with Ellisman lab (UCSD), @WertLaboratory, and UTSW EM Core (1/6).

@WalterWChen1 Thank you, Walter!

@SunLab19 Big congrats!! 🎉

This work was supported by UTSW Endowed Scholar Funds @UTSWMedCenter, @utsweye, @UTSWBrain, @NatEyeInstitute, @klingensteinorg, @czi.

These defects are accompanied by prolonged visual signal transduction. We speculate that this mechanism that safeguards myelin integrity during early development might also play roles in myelin breakdown during neurodegeneration, where dysmyelination is a hallmark.

The 2026 Klingenstein Fellowship Awards in Neuroscience Conference brought together current and past fellows, distinguished advisors, and colleagues for top-notch science, engaging discussions, slide and poster presentations, and community-building.

@YueluUIowa @ZhangTingxin Thanks and hope all is well with you and your new lab in Iowa!

@SunLab19 @ZhangTingxin “Congratulations! Exciting milestone for both Tingxin and the Sun lab!

Today we say goodbye to @ZhangTingxin, an outstanding postdoc and research scientist in our group, as he begins his independent lab at SUSTech (the first one from our lab!). He published our group’s first paper and has another under review. Congratulations and best of luck!!

OBI Investigator, Lu Sun, Ph.D. (right), & Aksheev Bhambri, Ph.D., developed a new research tool that sheds light on myelination. Learn how the discovery is providing deeper understanding of how neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis develop. bit.ly/49PPmEZ

We made the Enpp6-CreERT2 mice available from Jax: jax.org/strain/041040 and updated the premyelinating oligodendrocyte multiomic website: utswbioinformatics.shinyapps.io/scrna_preol/

Glad to share our published version: “ Genetic targeting of premyelinating oligodendrocytes reveals activity-dependent myelination mechanisms”, led by @AksheevB nature.com/articles/s4159…

@Zhu_Lab @science So inspiring to read Zhu Lab’s work, even though not in my field. Many congratulations!!

Where do cancers start? In the liver, not all cells are the same. The liver is divided into 3 “zones,” and each specializes in different metabolic tasks. We show in @Science that where a mutation occurs in a liver lobule can determine a cell’s fate. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… (1/9)

A terrific new opportunity for new or early career faculty to join the outstanding and rapidly growing faculty of @UTSWBrain. Spread the word!

@guo_lab @NatureNeuro @YaleNeuro @Yale_INP Beautiful - Congratulations again, Junjie!!
