New preprint from our lab!
Aleksandra Deczkowska@adeczkowska.bsky.social · 8mo agoExcited to share our new preprint: “Local B cell maturation and mast cell regulation of choroid plexus function in early life” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... , initiated in the lab by Laetitia Travier and led by the one and only @fakesamir.bsky.social
Some thoughts on meningeal mast cells inspired by Xinzhong Dong and @jonykipnis.bsky.social recent (and AWESOME) papers. Lead: @fakesamir.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/immun...
Keep your neutrophils close, but your mast cells closer
Immune activity at the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)–dura–brain interface regulates key functions of brain physiology. In two back-to-back papers, Mamuladze et al. and Kothari et al. show that dural mast ...
