some great starter packs for the #glia, #astrocyte, #oligodendrocyte, #microglia, #neuro researcher: gliasky, astrocytesky, microglia
But if you also like interactions between celltypes, please help this starter pack get started. Maybe someone can connect all of us in a feed?

This just out from grad student Samantha Bromley-Coolidge with help from Regis University undergrad Diego Iruegas. By the way, Regis has an awesome neuroscience program. If one of their students applies to your grad program, give them a close look!

By popular demand: the Axon Degeneration starter pack. Definitely incomplete so let me know who I missed.

Constantly teaching people about Vorführeffekt 🇩🇪
"Vorführeffekt" is a German term that I think of often

It's when you are trying to demonstrate something and it suddenly doesn't behave like it normally does

E.g. there's a glitch & when a technician looks at it, it seems fine. Or, you can normally do a thing, but can't when someone is watching

New work from Yasmine Kamen shows that differentiating oligodendrocytes are filled with the zymogen procaspase-3. This provides a specific marker for new oligodendrocytes and suggests a role for this pathway in oligodendrocyte fate decisions.

I am really enjoying the surge of people to bluesky but still kind of missing the VERY early career group of people! (Aging in academia is a funny thing) - I went ahead and made this starter pack go.bsky.app/Jq8YaQM - if you would like to be removed/added please let me know

Yay!! We finally have a glia starter pack 🧠 🎉
go.bsky.app/Lyzro3M

!WELCOME!

thought we might need a starter pack for all those coming over from the birdhouse - here's a GliaSky list.

apologies for missing many of you - please do reply to get added

and remember to repost so the newbies can find us!

Check out our new paper on mouse myelinating Schwann cell dorsal root ganglion neuron cocultures! #neuroskyence #PhDSky #AcademicSky (one day I shall remember these hashtags in the first place but apparently today is not that day😅)

Really excited to share our new paper!! We describe a detailed protocol for setting up dissociated mouse myelinating Schwann cell dorsal root ganglion neuron cocultures in microfluidic chambers, and use this model to investigate axon degeneration. journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...

Mark(@sanbomics.bsky.social) put together a really nice video & walkthrough on using alevin-fry/simpleAF to process your single-cell RNA-seq data. If you're doing processing of such data, I recommend checking it out as a transparent & open alternative to CellRanger (& way faster) t.co/Hu9ueRduQ9! 🖥️🧬
