Online now: A transcriptomic atlas of astrocyte heterogeneity across space and time in mouse and marmoset dlvr.it/TPN68R

A cellular atlas developed by MIT researchers details the dynamic diversity of astrocytes and provides a framework for exploring how these ⭐️shaped cells contribute to brain development, function & disease. mcgovern.mit.edu/2025/11/20/ast… Stunning astrocyte image courtesy of @meschro

Code on GitHub (github.com/Feng-Lab-MIT/A…) and images on BossDB (bossdb.org/project/schroe…).

Raw data (fastqs, h5 count matrices) on NeMO (data.nemoarchive.org/biccn/grant/u0…) and GEO (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.…).

I’m so excited to share my first-author PhD paper, out today in @NeuroCellPress as a NeuroResource! A huge thanks to all of my co-authors, and of course to my wonderful mentors Guoping Feng, @fennamk, and @eboyden3. cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Defended my PhD on Friday! Huge thanks to all who helped me achieve this milestone, especially my advisors, thesis committee, and lab-mates!

Huge thanks to my mentors Dr. Guoping Feng, @eboyden3, and @fennamk for all of their support on this project, and to all the co-authors for their contributions!

Very excited to share our pre-print and my thesis work on the postnatal development of astrocyte regional heterogeneity, which includes an integrated dataset of >1.4 million single nuclei transcriptomes in mouse and marmoset brains (now available online)! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@fennamk yay!! huge congrats!🐵

not a Nobel but still pretty exciting to receive a New Innovator Award from the @NIH_CommonFund! We'll be using it to study the developmental origins of primate/human brain innovations @PrincetonNeuro. #NIHHighRisk

@RLPlikesscience congrats Rebecca!!

I am delighted to share that I am joining the Chemical Engineering Dept & ChEM-H Institute as an Assistant Professor at Stanford in fall 2025! My lab will explore the nano-neuro interface, building nano-tools & micro-brain models to tackle neurodegenerative disease 🔬🧪🧠💡

And if you want to learn about the developmental trajectory of astrocyte heterogeneity in marmoset and mouse, check out poster BB6 at the TPDA session tonight or board B7 8am-12pm tomorrow! #SfN2023

SfN attendees interested in oligodendrocytes, come hear about Gpr17-IRES-Cre, our new constitutive Cre driver line, at poster D19 today 1-5pm! #SfN2023
