Exciting paper alert. Bravo to @borderbiologist.bsky.social and everyone who worked on the paper.

Interested in finding your own astrocyte networks? The plasmid is now available on Addgene! www.addgene.org/252501/ Check out how we implemented it in this paper, published in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Need extra guidance? Watch this space for a more detailed protocol paper soon!

Sorry all, some gliaseq datasets went down over the weekend. They should be up and functioning again soon (if not already). Please do reach out if there are additional bugs. MORE data coming soon!

Astrocytes do so much more than any of us thought - they even communicate among specific brain regions across hemispheres! The journey to this paper spanned nearly a decade, but I'm most excited to see what everyone else does with the tools we've built. There's so much for all of us to explore!

I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

You WISH it had a glia @stephenmath! The combination of astrocyte and tardigrade would be a force for good! (plus interneurons are just glial support cells right?)

Great story in the @thetransmitter.bsky.social today by @callimcflurry.bsky.social. It was fun chatting about @melcooperphd.bsky.social's new research on astrocyte networks. Read the story here: www.thetransmitter.org/astrocytes/a... Read the preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

thetransmitter.org

Astrocyte networks span large swaths of brain

The networks are plastic, connect brain regions that aren’t connected by neurons and may enable long-distance communication between astrocytes, a new preprint shows.
