Glad I had the chance to present my work on the hindbrain choroid plexus to the community at the European Brain Barrier Meeting 2025. 👏 Huge thanks to the organizers, @brittae.bsky.social and everyone else for such a nice meeting 🤗 #EBBM2025

Grind stays real – Víťa and @petrakompanikova.bsky.social went straight from the V4SDB Meeting 2025 to the European Brain Barrier Meeting in Bern, where Petra presented her work on the hindbrain choroid plexus. 🐁 Big thanks to the organizers and community for the warm first-time welcome! 😇 #EBBM2025

Lack of junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-B traps CD8 T cells in CNS border zones and ameliorates autoimmune neuroinflammation Javier Pareja et al. 🧪 actaneurocomms.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Lack of junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-B traps CD8 T cells in CNS border zones and ameliorates autoimmune neuroinflammation - Acta Neuropathologica Communications

The endothelial blood-brain barrier (BBB) tightly controls T cell entry into the central nervous system (CNS). T cell extravasation across the BBB involves a multi-step cascade with a predominant role...

What a cool story! Must read. Defining the molecular identity and morphology of glia limitans superficialis astrocytes in vertebrates: Cell Reports www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Defining the molecular identity and morphology of glia limitans superficialis astrocytes in vertebrates

Hasel et al. show that molecularly and morphologically specialized astrocytes make up the brain and spinal cord surface, thereby creating the glia limitans superficialis. These astrocytes selectively ...

You know a paper is good when you get on your university VPN on a Saturday morning to download the paper/supp AND send it to a few group members saying 'look at this, this is relevant to...' 😆

🤩 paper in on extrasinusoidal macrophages in 🐭 dura from Marco Prinz's group led by Lukas Amann @uni-freiburg.de - this is a VERY comprehensive paper, lots to ❤️ but their role in phagocytosing dying neurophils at both the onset & peak of EAE neuroinflammation is quite interesting 🧪 #ImmunoSky 🧠

Piezo1-dependent regulation of pericyte proliferation by blood flow during brain vascular development

Zi et al. elucidate the developmental dynamics of brain pericytes and reveal that blood flow promotes pericyte proliferation. The effect of blood flow is dependent on the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 in ECs, subsequently mediated by the EC-intrinsic Notch signaling, and it involves the activation of Notch signaling in pericytes.

💯 agree! There should be an easy way for folks browsing @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social to share with their bluesky followers, scientists & non-scientists alike. An end-of-year present for us all! 🦋🎁

Would you like to see @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social add a share to blue sky button?! I know I would! Share this post to let @richardsever.bsky.social @erictopol.bsky.social and others at bioarxiv know!
