There’s nothing harder in clinical medicine than childhood brain cancer– in every way. And yet Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦, the strongest person I know, has made it her calling, and is truly making a difference. Against all odds– advancing the science, treating & helping children, together.

Do malignant gliomas recruit mechanisms of adaptive plasticity, elaborating and reinforcing synaptic integration into neural circuits? New #CancerNeuroscience pre-print, led by stellar postdoc Kathryn R. Taylor. #DIPG #GBM biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How #LongCovid brain fog resembles cancer "chemo-brain." An experimental model of mild Covid infection demonstrates microglial activation, loss of oligodendrocytes, confirmed at post-mortem in 9 people biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Prof. Akiko Iwasaki Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦





Just out in Nat Rev Neurology! With Morelia Monje Mora, Ankita Batra, Lucy Xu. We review key discoveries & remaining questions to understand how myelin plasticity supports normal function & becomes dysregulated in neurological diseases. Check it out!
