Repair after CNS injury is not strictly local! We find that lesion-remote #astrocytes (LRAs) exhibit striking spatiotemporal heterogeneity across spared regions of the injured spinal cord and shape neural repair far from the injury epicenter! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Lesion-remote astrocytes govern microglia-mediated white matter repair - Nature
After spinal cord injury, lesion-remote astrocytes acquire heterogeneous, spatially restricted reactivity states that shape neuroinflammation, neural repair and neurological recovery.

Inside and outside of the lab I am passionate about DEI and recently contributed to a science and opinions piece about how we can implement global DEI strategies www.cell.com/trends/cell-...
Implementing standardized diversity, equity, and inclusion approaches within scientific communities
Within the global scientific community, there are disparate approaches to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices, leading to inequalities that hinder progress. Here, we frame this problem th...
