Dear Glia Lovers😍, we invite you to be part of the new Italian Glia Network (IGN), a free and self-managed platform aimed at sharing knowledge and encouraging interactions among scientists involved in the study of glial cells in all their many facets.

Thank you for accepting me in this amazing initiative. Trainees, if you are interested in glia, neurons, and their interactions, please do check out the job postings on the IGN website here. We have openings.

Proud of Henry Hoskins for being awarded the Chronic Brain Injury undergraduate summer fellowship! Thanks to the Ohio State Chronic Brain Injury Program program for supporting this promising future MSTP student. Watch out for his contribution The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Henry is bound to go places!

Important progress update from Dr. Sanders and his team at Vanderbilt University. Their innovative project targets the root cause of CMT1A by tackling the overproduction and faulty trafficking of the PMP22 protein in Schwann cells. cmtrf.org/vanderbilts-ch…

Congratulations to Bogdan Beirowski at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. His proposed mini symposium has been accepted by Society for Neuroscience (SfN). Bogdan Beirowski will chair the minisymposium "Metabolic axon-glia interactions in the peripheral nervous system"at the next Neuroscience meeting in Chicago in Oct!

Attention organelle enthusiasts!! I am beyond thrilled to introduce Nellie: a fully automated pipeline for organelle segmentation, tracking, and hierarchical feature extraction in 2D/3D live-cell microscopy. paper: arxiv.org/abs/2403.13214 github: github.com/aelefebv/nellie 🧵1/N

Proud moment: the Axonglia group is growing! We welcome onboard MSTP student Haoran Huang. She, and the Axonglia team (sporting our Axonglia T-shirt), competed in the 5K brain injury awarness race organized by Buckeyes Raising Awareness in Neuroscience Henry Hoskins finished strong in second position!

This week we welcome another new member of the Axonglia lab: Sara Bombardelli. Sara joined us from the University of Trento, in Italy, with a master. I am so excited for our growing team!

Another opening (graduate student or postdoc preferred) is available in the Axonglia laboratory axonglia.com We study axon degeneration and metabolic axon-glia interaction, and are a growing team of enthusiastic scientists. Come join us!

The CMT Research Foundation has invested in a research project based at Nationwide Children’s Hospital (Columbus, Ohio) under the direction of Afrooz Rashnonejad, PhD, that could potentially treat multiple subtypes of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. cmtrf.org/cmt-research-f…

Welcome twitterless postdoc Konstantinos Tsesmelis to our AxonGlia team. Great things are ahead of us! The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Ohio State

For all the fancy single cell profiling methods out there, cell morphology is surprisingly informative… and ~free.

Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Bogdan Beirowski is chairing a minisymposium and talking about metabolic axon-glia interactions in the PNS on Tuesday at 2pm MCP room S103 in Chicago. Go visit and ask him about open opportunities in our lab.... axonglia.com

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Scientists and doctors (and anyone who cares about these institutions)..if you were on the fence to vote, maybe this will jolt you. When they say "reorganization" they mean...gutting and controlling based on opinion/political reasons, not actual facts or science.

Our team at the AxonGlia lab is growing exponentially, and the science is growing with it The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center The Ohio State University College of Medicine Welcome new lab members Aristofanis, Devin, Carter and Guan! Still open opportunities to join axonglia.com

Next short talk of the morning at METPHYS2025 is from Elisabetta Babeto who is enlightening us about the energetic demands of neurons

Thanks for the invite Phillip J White PhD and the amazing conference.
