www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Excited to share our new preprint: Not all microglia are the same. In this study, we identify a specialized ApoE-dependent program in the median eminence positioning microglial lipid metabolism as a driver of hypothalamic adaptation to nutritional stress.

I am grateful to have @skoliwad.bsky.social as my “science buddy”, someone with whom I feel comfortable and communicate effortlessly, someone who reliably brings up interesting angles on the things we are thinking about, and someone who can help us to overcome hurdles when we get stuck (Itai Yanai).

Excited to share our work on the role of hypothalamic microglia in the formation of glucoregulatory circuits. There is so much to learn about these fascinating cells. More to come from my own lab. Stay tuned!
