Fresh from the lab! In this new paper, PhD student Sven Kerst shows how phenotypes observed in isolated cell models for the leukodystrophy MLC are also observed in intact astrocytes in acute brain slices! Glia | Neurobiology Journal | Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Impaired Volume Regulation and Electrophysiology of Astrocytes In Situ in a Mouse Model for Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy With Subcortical Cysts

Cell culture studies show disrupted astrocyte physiology in the leukodystrophy MLC. Are intact astrocytes similarly affected? This study on astrocytes in MLC mouse brain slices confirms and exten...

Excited to share our latest paper! We argue that in MS, the primary immune attack isn’t on myelin or myelinated axons — but on the ion & water homeostasis machinery in astrocyte endfeet. A short thread on this new perspective 1/11

Fantastic Harvey lecture at Rockefeller Uni by @ardemp.bsky.social, with both great science + artistic performance

Hey folks! I got a tattoo of my beloved PIEZO ion channel on my arm! Now I can show how they activate (flatten) under pressure by flexing—Will add a bit of performance art to my science talks 🧪🧠.
