@AdrianoAguzzi @HaoYin20 Totally agree!! That’s one of the major points of the paper 😊 We found PLX messes w EC cholesterol independent of its actions on microglia. A big take-home message of the paper is that PLX can & does have effects other than microglial depletion!

#BloodBrainBarrier "microglia are NOT necessary for the maintenance of BBB structure, function, or gene expression in the healthy brain"🤓 Evidence from >95% microglia depletion by PLX5622, a CSF1R inhibitor (1 mo) & BBB ultrastructure PLX5622 ⏫#EndothelialCell LDLR & cholesterol metabolism in #CentralNervousSystem Not in thymus/kidney/muscle However, the LDLR effect of PLX5622 is independent of microglia 1⃣Still observed microglia-depleted Csf1rΔFIRE/ΔFIRE 🐭🧠 2⃣Cx3cr1-CreERT2; Csf1rf/f 🐭🧠 exhibit NO change in vascular LDLR @cprofaci @NeuroCellPress 2024 cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Gregor Schuhknecht@GregorFPS

I’m thrilled to share that I’m starting my lab at @MpiBrain in Frankfurt, Germany! 🐠🧠🔬 brain.mpg.de/schuhknecht #Neuroscience, #Zebrafish, #NeuroJobs We will explore how brain circuits give rise to the computational algorithms animals use to solve real-world problems - using the larval zebrafish as a model. More soon!

@JasonSynaptic The constant posts from this account on my timeline was a huge motivator for my migration to 🦋. The X algorithms are so clearly promoting these and similar posts regardless of whether the AI thinks you’ll be interested in them!!

Extremely comforting fact: The incoming administration is filled with parents of large families who are heavily invested in humanity's future. Trump - POTUS: 5 children Vance - VPOTUS: 3 children RF Kennedy - HHS: 7 children Hegseth - Defense: 7 children Marco Rubio - SOS: 4 children Elon Musk - DOGE: 12 children Duffy - Transportation: 9 children Ratcliffe - CIA Director: 4 children Doug Burgum - Interior: 3 children Noem - DHS Secretary: 3 children Walz - National Security: 3 children
