📢 Thrilled to share our new paper @juliae.bsky.social! We show that myelin does more than insulate axons: it contains an activity-responsive transport system, TRAM, that moves organelles and helps maintain axonal health 🧠🔬 👏 Huge thanks to all our collaborators. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

An activity-modulated transport route across myelin (TRAM) for motor-driven organelle transfer in oligodendrocytes - Nature Neuroscience

Axons require intracellular transport of cargoes between the soma and the terminus. The authors show a related logistical challenge exists at smaller scale with respect to the interaction of process-b...

🦠 Measles is back. Cases have exploded in 2025 in France, UK, US & Europe due to falling vaccine coverage. The MMR vaccine is ~100% effective with 2 doses. It's saved 94M lives since 1974. Measles isn't just for kids – 34% of US cases were adults over 20. www.pasteur.fr/en/research-... #Measles

Three questions about measles: why is it on the rise, is the vaccine effective, and can you catch it at any age?

A few years ago, measles seemed to be on the verge of being eradicated in many countries. The recent rise in cases raises several questions. Why is measles making a comeback? Is the measles, mumps and...

☀️ | On Saturday, 2 August 2025, staff and PhD students from across @uofgsii.bsky.social came together for a fantastic day trip to Millport. Organised by Social Committee Chair Dawn Mylet, the group enjoyed a cycle around the island, the fresh sea air, stunning views - and ice cream! 🚴⛵️🍦

We have updated our nucleus reuniens paper: now with added data from rat (courtesy of Zaf Bashir's lab in Bristol). They also failed to evoke a synaptic response in CA1 pyramidal cells when activating reuniens axons, in either dCA1 or vCA1. #NeuroSkyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
