- Reposted by Robert HillA #Dartmouth study in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process to power their search-and-destroy missions: the brain’s emergency responders arrive powered by sugar, then build roads to recruit reinforcements for longer-term damage control.
- New preprint from Xhoela Bame et al shows that dying oligodendrocytes stick around for weeks to months without mitochondria! This happens after single cell DNA damage or when mitochondrial Fis1 is deleted in oligodendrocytes. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
- Alicia Pietramale et al. discovered a disconnection between microglial processes that surveil or respond to acute damage and those that contain mitochondria. Cytoskeletal components and metabolic enzymes underlie these differences. Final version just published! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Reposted by Robert HillMy Department (Biology) at @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social is hiring this year! We have an opening for a Tenure Track Cell and/or Molecular biologist (broadly defined). Please share with your trainees/labmates/friends and reach out if you have questions. apply.interfolio.com/171625
- We had fun assembling images and describing approaches for imaging oligodendrocytes and myelin in vivo, in organotypic slices, and in fixed tissues. This work started in the lab of @jgrutzendler.bsky.social over 10 years ago and continues to keep us busy. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

- Yasmine Kamen's paper that establishes procaspase-3 as a marker for new oligodendrocytes was officially published and featured in This Week in The Journal. Congrats to Yasmine and co-authors! www.jneurosci.org/content/45/1...
