🧠 Luc Pellerin @univpoitiers.bsky.social ha protagonizado esta tarde una nueva plenaria de la #CajalConference2026 con su charla:
“Astrocyte Neuron Lactate Shuttle: Concept, Evidence and Role(s)”
#CajalConference #Cádiz #Neurociencia @pgonzalezrodriguez.bsky.social

The first Adriatic school on immunometabolism: This summerschool is oriented towards early-career scientists and focuses on immunometabolism, an exciting and rapidly evolving field that explores the dynamic interplay between metabolism and immunity.
New from Felipe Barros lab, mitochondria makes lactate and exports it via MPC: Mitochondrial lactate venting limits oxidative stress: Cell Metabolism www.cell.com/cell-metabol...
Resident tissue #macrophages (RTM) are now recognized as integral regulators of tissue physiology, not transient immune sentinels. one fundamental question remains unresolved: why do some populations achieve lifelong self-maintenance, while others are replaced under steady-state conditions? 🧵1/11

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.
Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.
They are good for society and the economy.
1/3 Thrilled to see our paper led by Kirandeep Deol is out in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology! CRISPR screens to uncover a role for vitamin B2 metabolism in stabilizing FSP1 via FAD, revealing a new way vitamins regulate ferroptosis.

Maybe it would be possible to combine your system with the use of specific sensors/indicators in oligodendrocytes (metabolites, glutamate etc) to potentially capture how and when it starts reacting to axonal damage, even before myelin changes become obvious?
But in models where many axons are damaged simultaneously, the threshold is reached, and then myelination by the oligo will be affected.
Congrats, great work! If axo-oligo signalling regulates the maintenance of myelin and oligos maintain up to 50-80 internodes, then it is likely that a loss of a single axon ( or 2) might not reach a "threshold" to let the oligo know myelin maintenance needs to be modified.
And much more... career development advice, mentoring workshops, social events in the framework of the Bay of #Plentzia.

What role do oligodendrocytes play in Alzheimer's? 🔬
We're pleased to support a major new project led by @sj-marzi.bsky.social, @dervissalih1.bsky.social, @nottalexi.bsky.social & @rikeshrajani.bsky.social, to investigate how these cells influence neurodegeneration👉 www.ukdri.ac.uk/news-and-eve...
🧠 New funding opportunity for all scientists working on brain organoids 🧠
Thrilled that our paper is now published. It’s been a real privilege to work on this project together with co-first author @ara-donia.bsky.social, under the supervision of @lyons-lab.bsky.social, and with such an outstanding team in Edinburgh and internationally!

If we want to understand the biology of non-inflammatory disability progression in MS and find therapies that actually work, we need to consider both relapse and MRI activity. This is the approach we need: academic.oup.com/brain/articl...
I am delighted to see this work published. A big thanks to everyone, particularly the excellent supervision of @lyons-lab.bsky.social, the work of co-first author @juliavdkorput.bsky.social and wonderful collaborators in Amsterdam and Oregon.

Where does Aβ come from in Alzheimer’s disease? 🔍
In this review, we explore Aβ production and functions of APP processing in non-neuronal cells as well as how targeting non-neuronal Aβ could lead to a more holistic disease prevention/targeting.
