Our new study by Siling Du reveals how CSF1R mutations in adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP) disrupt glial homeostasis. Key roles for oligodendrocytes, astrocytes & STAT3 signaling. nature.com/articles/s4159…

🧵1/ Excited to share my first publication from the ColonnaLab in Nature Immunology! We investigated how mutations in the human CSF1R gene disrupt microglia and impair white matter integrity in a rare but devastating neurodegeneration called ALSP. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Bittersweet feeling to say goodbye and bon voyage to Wenqing Gao and to wish her the best of luck as she starts her new lab HKUST! This is the third postdoc this year to open their own lab! We miss Wenqing already!

Excited to share this new work from our lab, led by an exceptional graduate student, Tornike Mamuladze (Tornike Mamuladze), on the role of meningeal mast cells in regulation of brain/dura access points, with implications to CSF flow dynamics and meningitis || authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…

Nightclubs have bouncers — so does your brain. Neuroimmunology research led by Jonathan Kipnis, MD, reveals tiny mast cells guard brain fluid‑draining gates, blocking pathogens and opening entirely new avenues to prevent infection. medicine.washu.edu/news/immune-bo…
