It's not too late to do a PhD with me and @KitchenPhil on everybody's favourite protein, AQP4! The deadline is 23rd May: warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/… Go on, you know you want to! Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence Aston Biosciences

Your insights are crucial! Join the NIH’s National Commission on Lymphatic Diseases in the future of lymphatic research & care. We value the perspectives of patients, caregivers, and professionals alike. Share your thoughts today! 📅 Deadline: June 28 📝 ow.ly/bt8Y50RUcHL

Excited to share our new Jeffrey Iliff lab work, “Macroscopic changes in aquaporin-4 underlie blast traumatic brain injury-related impairment in glymphatic function”, led by Molly Braun. Out today in Brain, Dr. Braun assessed rTBI in humans and mice. doi.org/10.1093/brain/…

Changes in the brain's system for clearing waste & neurotoxins might explain higher risk of psychiatric disorders & cognitive impairments in veterans after a blast concussion. Study led by Jeffrey Iliff UW Psychiatry UW Neurology & Molly Braun MCG tinyurl.com/4uv4actp

The NIH has established a National Comission on Lymphatic Diseases focused on increasing understanding of lymphatic disorders nhlbi.nih.gov/advisory-and-p…. Now is the time for folks studying lymphatic function in neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Here is an RFI from the NIH National Commission on Lymphatic Diseases seeking input into knowledge gaps and opportunities related to LDs: rfi.grants.nih.gov/?s=663a43f2f5e… Researchers engaged in meningeal lymphatic and glymphatic research represent a new frontier for this field. Chime in!

DAY 1 at Lund Glymphatic Symposium! #LGS2024 with Jeffrey Iliff Per Kristian Eide What an amazing start!

I had the unique privilege of presenting work from both my Jeffrey Iliff lab translational postdoc work in sleep and neurodegeneration (P1) and my current Jana Ivanidze lab work evaluating fluid dynamics in NPH (P49) at today’s Lund Glymphatic Symposium poster session. Science is the best

We meet in person at last. And it was worth the wait! Jeffrey Iliff Mootaz Salman European Research Council (ERC) #FORTIFY #AQP4

A new Science study in mice identifies a novel non-synaptic signaling mechanism between the brain and peripheral sensory system important for migraine. Learn more ⬇️ 📄: scim.ag/7D5 #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/7D4

Something new, just out in JCBFM : Evaluating two different contrast-free MRI measures of cranial fluid dynamics in sleep deprived and aged human participants. Subarachnoid fluid transport, and glial-vascular water exchange. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

This is a really nice summary of a wild 12 years in the CNS barriers field. Very accessible to a lay audience - a good piece to recommend to the interested non-nerds in your life. The anatomy of brainwashing | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Two new pre-prints in the glymphatics space... A combined human neuropath and rodent study defining the linkage between glymphatic dysfunction, alpha synuclein pathology, and Lewy body dementia: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A second new preprint, from a collaboration with Applied Cognition... Evidence from human participants that sleep-active glymphatic function contributes to the clearance of amyloid beta and tau from the brain to the plasma: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

An exciting day in Birmingham. Congratulations to Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence, and especially collabotor-extraordinaire Roslyn Bill , for the start of this new Center. Thanks for letting me be a part of the day!

Many thanks to colleagues in the UK Glia Network for letting me join you this past week in Sheffield. It is an exciting community, and great fun to be a part of it for a bit. Congratulations on a fantastic inaugural meeting!

A lovely visit to Department of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics (DPAG) and Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, Oxford - so many thanks for the questions, conversations and hospitality!
