Bowles lab Spring Thing 2025

From Tau2025 to #BNA2025 @britishneuro.bsky.social in Liverpool! We had the opportunity to host a session on Glial Mechanisms in Primary Tauopathy, sponsored by ARUK. Our PhD student Lois Keavey gave a super talk, followed by Dr. Aitana Sogorb-Esteve and Prof. Delphine Boche 🧠🧠🧠

We all had a super time at #Tau2025 this week! Learned a thing or two, made some new collabs and caught up with good friends!
Thank you so much Rainwater Foundation, CurePSP, Alzheimer's Association & @pspassociation.bsky.social 😊

Day 1 of #SCMND2025 today! The Edinburgh weather was glorious and the science was incredible 😍😍

Looking forward to Day 2!

My son asked for a space cake, and a space cake he got!! 🚀

I'm very proud of it - it took a few evenings, and I made all of those chocolates myself from scratch! It's strawberry & vanilla with strawberry cream cheese frosting 😋

The kitchen is covered in glitter!

Typical development of synaptic and neuronal properties can proceed without microglia in the cortex and thalamus Nature Neuroscience - Microglia are proposed to have a role in brain development through synaptic engulfment and paracrine signaling. O’Keeffe et al. show that certain neurodevelopmental...

Cool new paper from Edinburgh (@edinunineuro.bsky.social) using the FIRE mice to assess synaptic and neuronal properties in development in the absence of microglia. Maybe microglia aren’t as important as we thought? (lol jk don’t @ me glia people). 🧠🧪
