Microrobots in the brain Vasculature!   We use microrobots and control them wirelessly in the brain vessels (even against the flow). We are just at the beginning of this exciting field. What kind of application do you imagine? biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #innovation #medtech

I am very excited and happy to share our work on how oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) integrate calcium signals and neuromodulatory cues to regulate their fate in vivo. Check out the fun supplemental videos, which are part of this paper nature.com/articles/s4146…

When brain cells are active, specialized cells supply the long nerve connections with energy – at lightning speed and on demand. If this communication is disabled in mice, the nerve fibers are severely damaged as the animals age. news.uzh.ch/en/articles/me… Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology Saab, Aiman S.

In our new study, we used fluorescent Localization microscopy to generate Hemodynamic maps of the whole Pial & Calvarial vascular connectome. Here, we used Pia-Flow in stroke, other applications for this transcranial powerful microscopy? #Topology #Velocity #direction #diameter

You knock out #GLUT1 to impair astrocytic glucose uptake - only to find out that #astrocytes ramp up glycolysis and keep going. Metabolically resilient, and even neuroprotective. Our study in Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146…
