🚨 New preprint
11,000+ human brain microvessels in cSVD.
Key findings:
• Early, bimodal pericyte loss
• Endothelial activation comes later
• Venous-like microvascular shift
• Capillary density ↑
💡 Suggests a sequential vascular pathology, not parallel.

I’m sooo excited to share our latest article led by Steve Hill and Isabel Bravo-Ferrer
1- How does the vasculature communicate with astrocytes?
2- Is this communication dependent to what happens in the body.
3- Is it relevant to human diseases?
SIDB and @ukdri.ac.uk researchers at The University of Edinburgh and @ncbsbangalore.bsky.social have found that FMRP maintains the form and function of neuron-maintenance cells, essential for rapid and efficient neuron communication.

Hot off the press! We find changes in oligodendrocytes that lack FMRP! An excellent collaboration supported by @sidb-edinburgh.bsky.social .
We are still recruiting for PhD studentships in basic & translational brain sciences! SIDB provides an annual stipend of £25K, plus tuition fees (inc. international).
