ENDING STRONG in Astrocyte land here in San Diego.
Thanks for being an amazing community, and apologies (one last time) for anyone I missed! Please comment below with extra awesome astrocyte sessions.

See you in 2026!

IT'S A BIG DAY - if you're unsure what do do this afternoon - it seems just going to poster row C is the best way to spend some time!

as always, apologies to those I have missed - please comment below with more sessions and presentations!

IT'S A BUSY AFTERNOON FOR THE LAB!

@mrodea.bsky.social - astrocyte chromatin in reactive astrocytes across the forebrain

Nick Kathman - COCKROACH BRAIN ALERT! (is this the largest single cell atlas of an insect brain?)

@liddelowsa.bsky.social - multiomic approaches to study astrocyte reacitivity

In case you were wondering what to do with precisely 150 minutes of your existence @sfn.org #SfN25 #SanDiego. Join our mini-symposium Single-Cell Multiomics in CNS Injury and Recovery. Guaranteed to contain many glial cells and at least a neuron. I am Co-chairing with Naomi Habib
@sfn.org #SfN25 #SanDiego starts this Saturday. The lab is going to be there in full force - see our presentations below.
Represented this year by @borderbiologist.bsky.social, Nick Kathman, @mrodea.bsky.social, @melcooperphd.bsky.social, @pryprk.bsky.social, @kerrylimberg.bsky.social.

Our latest collaboration with @rongfan8.bsky.social, spatial triomics to investigate myelin and cortical brain development, and demyelination, spearheaded by Leslie Kirby in our lab @ki.se and Di Zhang in Rong's lab! Check it out @nature.com

Spatial dynamics of brain development and neuroinflammation - Nature
A tri-omic atlas of the mouse brain from postnatal day 0 to P21 reveals that layer-specific projection neurons have a role in coordinating axonogenesis and myelination.

We've been doing some amazing stuff outside the astrocyte realm.
Check out our latest Oligo investigation led by @pryprk.bsky.social !
I am proud to share our work on X-linked Dystonia-Parkinsonism — a rare neurodegenerative movement disorder driven by a SINE-VNTR-Alu retrotransposon insertion in the TAF1 gene.

Astrocyte networks are much larger than previously thought, which “flips the way we think about astrocytes and what their networks may mean,” says @liddelowsa.bsky.social.

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...
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.
