Reposted by Franzi AuerMelissa Cooper, PhD @melcooperphd.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Now on bioRxiv! Astrocytes in one brain region (cyan) communicate in expansive networks (magenta). Through tool development, tissue clearing, and many hours on our @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Z1, we now know these networks are repeatable across mice, plastic, and specific. doi.org/10.1101/2025... 47520
Reposted by Franzi AuerMichael O’Dea @mrodea.bsky.social · 08/04/2025New preprint evaluating the recent claim of epigenetically regulated immune memory in astrocytes. We believe this finding was likely artifactual, resulting from immune cell contamination & cell type mis-annotation across multiple transcriptomics experiments: 0164

Reposted by Franzi AuerDavid Schoppik @schoppik.com · 30/12/2024Closing out the year, @cbellegarda.bsky.social and @franziau.bsky.social argue that zebrafish have much to teach us about diversity. Well, diversity among motor neurons that move the eyes, anyway 👀. Plus read our opinionated takes on current articles too! authors.elsevier.com/a/1kL%7Eb3Q9... 14412
