Agreed! But 1) there are a lot of things going wrong in CSFR1-/- mice 2) an organoid is missing a lot more than just microglia. Fascinating to understand just how crucial microglia are!

My favourite journal. Always publishes the most interesting studies!

Basement membranes’ role in immune cell recruitment to the central nervous system - Journal of Inflammation Basement membranes form part of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is the structural basis for all tissue.

I’d like to join, thank you!

After 5 years, our first in-person event is happening! So grateful to @juanquintana.bsky.social and @alex-cocker.bsky.social for making this happen. And to @drtesutherland.bsky.social and @franzeprogatzky.bsky.social for all of their help!

Here’s a bit about the lab, one of our major interests (mild TBI) and how I got here as a neuroimmunologist 🧠
