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).

Ana is giving her final Wert lab meeting on Friday. She’ll show some new data, followed by a full presentation of which Taylor Swift album matches each person in the lab. Anyone want to make guesses on which will be chosen for each member of the Wert lab?? 🎶🎵🎤
