"While the exact causes of neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia are still largely unknown, researchers have been able to identify a key characteristic in affected brains: reduced blood flow. Building upon this foundational understanding, a team at Penn State recently found that a rare neuron that is extremely vulnerable to anxiety-induced stress appears to be responsible for regulating blood flow and coordinating neural activity in mice." science.psu.edu/news/its-not-j…

If you’re at @SfNtweets today, please stop by Deetya Gupta’s poster and see our work on myeloid cell COX1 regulation of blood flow. Session Title: G.05. Presentation Time: Mon., Nov. 17, 2025 1 - 2:00 p.m. Posterboard Number: LBP145

I am very happy to report that our manuscript describing the requirement of Rab7a to degrade select BBB junctional proteins during acute BBB breakdown after stroke is accepted at Acta Neuropathologica Communications! The final paper will be available soon biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to @UVA’s Harald Sontheimer, PhD, and @Stanford’s Michelle Monje, MD, recipients of the 2025 International Prize in Translational Neuroscience! The award recognizes their pioneering work in the emerging field of cancer neuroscience. 📘 bit.ly/407JzXw

My first journal cover :) nature.com/neuro/volumes/… Volume 28 Issue 7, July 2025 @NatureNeuro @LehtinenLab

I love this article in Science. I keep telling this to my students but they keep comparing themselves to their peers. Getting a PhD is an individual endurance journey that can lead to personal and scientific growth and resilience.

@LongJun_Wu @eyolab Thank you!

@eyolab Many congrats on the beautiful work! @astrecyte @eyolab

This guy is on fire. Postdoc fellowship…Check. Career development award…Check. co-author publication in May...Check. co-author publication June...Check. First author publication in Nature Communications in July…Check. Check it out. Great stuff, Tré💪🏾👏🏾

Congrats to Michelle Monje @michelle_monje & Harry Sontheimer on receiving the 2025 International Prize for Translational Neuroscience from the Max Planck institute mpg.de/24939670/inter…

@jonykipnis @eyolab Thanks! See you in October!

@astrecyte @eyolab Congrats!!! 👏

Finally online today: nature.com/articles/s4146… Thanks to all involved, especially @eyolab and the phenomenal undergraduates I've had the privilege to mentor. Also check out two of my other recent publications. 1) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/pmid/… 2) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

All praise to God and Jesus Christ for everything.

Hi friends- if you're interested in what I've been doing for the last 6+ years, I'm defending my dissertation on July 11th at 11am! Come tune in on zoom (message me for the link!) to hear about why we think matrix structures called #perineuronalnets are important in seizing mice.

Thrilled to be here!

To wrap up this series, this year (2025) in a soon-to-be-published study, @astrecyte is revealing that microglia (rather than BAMs) maintain basal capillary tone through vasodilatory COX1 signaling. A pre-print is available here: researchsquare.com/article/rs-614….🤩#20YearsInVivoMGImaging
