🗣️Calling all ANS members to nominate symposia and speakers for the #ANS2025 conference to be held in Hobart, Tasmania, from 30 Nov-3 Dec! Symposium guidelines: tinyurl.com/a5fv6kp7 Submit porposal here: tas.currinda2.com/events/4 But hurry! Submissions close 5pm, 24/03/2025

Can't wait for next year's @AusNeuroSoc meeting in Hobart! The conference is in great hands with @ziebs83 @BradASutherland

🧠🔬 Exciting #HotTopic: microglial "plugs" found at blood vessel contacts in the brain! This opens a new path to understand how microglia interact with the vasculature in health and disease. Don't miss it: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… #JCBFMhome #ISCBFM #BrainResearch

Our new paper published in @BrainBehavImm shows ablating pericytes in mice causes hypoactivity🏃, motor impairment, vessel dysfunction🩸, and widespread gliosis🌟. Another reminder of how important pericytes are for brain function. @BradASutherland @LabGlial (1/3)

Excited to share that our work showing the #mTOR inhibitor #rapamycin (Sirolimus) can reduce #brain #pericyte constriction following #stroke, is now published in Translational Stroke Research! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

1/4 We are thrilled to announce that our 🌍 collaboration has resulted in a paper in @_JCBFM. @Gazz4_Science @CathFoster_ @BradASutherland @UTAS_ @SeattleChildrens @uni_copenhagen doi.org/10.1177/027167…

I am pleased to launch the Multiple Sclerosis Centre of Research Excellence, funded by the NHMRC. I look forward to working with Bruce Taylor, @williamreay96 , Ingrid van der Mei, @aydzhouyuan , @BradASutherland , Jake Gratten, @NatashaJStevens , Leonid Churilov & Chris Gumley

Numerous pharmacological studies modulating pericyte contraction are currently being published! 👀 This interesting @biorxivpreprint shows that #Rapamycin (#mTOR inhibition) relaxes #pericytes, mitigating capillary dysfunction after stroke reperfusion 🧠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our new preprint showing that the #mTOR inhibitor #rapamycin (Sirolimus) can reduce #brain #pericyte constriction following ischemia in vitro and #MCAO #stroke in vivo. biorxiv.org/content/10.110….

Check out our new work on how microglia interact with the vasculature through astrocyte end feet using the @AllenInstitute #MICrONS cortical mm^3 dataset! Had a great time working with @Gazz4_Science, @BradASutherland and @SorenGrubb to produce this work!

1/ 🔥 Exciting findings from our collaboration between @UTAS_, @SeattleChildrens, and @uni_copenhagen! We've discovered a new way #microglia interact with 🧠 vasculature, which could reshape our understanding of their role in #brain health and disease. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest publication was just released in Stem Cell Research and Therapy, showing gene expression and functional differences between neural crest and mesoderm iPSC-derived pericytes (iPericytes). Check it out here: doi.org/10.1186/s13287…

📢Our lab balbilab.com at @QldBrainInst is looking for a PhD student interested in brain oscillations and their intricate role in restoring function after stroke. Lots of cool techniques such as in vivo electrophysiology and imaging in🐭. Info: study.uq.edu.au/study-options/…

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position with the Glial Research Team in Hobart, Australia. Please apply online by following this link. careers.utas.edu.au/en/job/499619/…

Delighted to be awarded an @nhmrc Ideas grant investigating pericytes, microglia and blood vessel breakdown in Alzheimer's Disease. Looking forward to working with Gary Morris, @ziebs83 and @group_deluca and collaborators on this exciting project. @UTAS_MedSci @WickingDementia

We look forward to starting work on our NHMRC Ideas grant with @FletcherJL, @nickomatics, @BradASutherland and @BruestleLab. Together we will find out how MS-associated genetic variants alter brain cell function.

Fabulous talk by @BradASutherland at @AusNeuroSoc 2023 in #Brisbane about #pericytes and #microglia in health and disease. @UTAS_ @UTAS_MPH

Sometimes #pericyte cell culture can get #spooky. Is this #perinormal activity? #HappyHalloween 🎃💀 perivascular.org/our-team @BradASutherland @NatKingScience @jomaree @Jake_Cashion_

📢 Exciting news - my latest preprint exploring the impacts of pericyte ablation on behaviour and brain health is out! 🧠🩸🐭 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @BradASutherland @LabGlial Pericytes 🟣 Vessels 🟢 #pericytes #neuroscience (1/3)

We are excited to present our most recent preprint, outlining gene expression differences and functionality of mesoderm and neural crest iPSC-derived pericytes (iPericytes) in comparison to human brain vascular pericytes (HBVPs) biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/3)
