🧬 When research tools are shared, science moves faster. In 2018, @ahleniuslab.bsky.social published a Nature Methods protocol to generate astrocytes from stem cells. Henrik Ahlenius & Isaac Canals now receive the Blue Flame Award for sharing the plasmids via @addgene.bsky.social 👇 #HappyDepositor

🌌 “Astroid City” Looks like a galaxy, but it’s brain cells. These star-shaped astrocytes grew in 3D spheroids from reprogrammed human skin cells. Captured by postdoc Alicja Krawczun-Rygmaczewska in @ahleniuslab.bsky.social, they help model the human brain in the lab. 🧠✨ #SciArt #SciComm

Did you know cells from a patient’s brain tumor can be grown in the lab as 3D “organoids”? In this image by @enricopracucci.bsky.social postdoc in @ahleniuslab.bsky.social, green glioblastoma cells are being reprogrammed into less harmful glial-like cells using an experimental gene therapy. #SciArt

Going to #GLIA2025 ? Check posters T21-004A and T24-013B The team will be represented by Alicja presenting our AD modeling by direct conversion of fibroblasts to astrocytes and neurons, and Enrico will present our inducible BRAF fusion iPSC and cerebellar organoid model of pilocytic astrocytoma.

We will be at the Swedish Cancer Research Meeting. Reach out if you want to discuss iPSC, CRISPR and reprogramming based models of brain tumors. Also, don’t miss Enrico Pracucci poster on reprogramming to astrocytes as a potential therapy for glioblastoma! #swedishcancerresearchmeeting #scrm2025
