Repair after CNS injury is not strictly local! We find that lesion-remote astrocytes (LRAs) exhibit striking spatiotemporal heterogeneity across spared regions of the injured spinal cord and shape neural repair far from the injury epicenter. @Nature bit.ly/3KNUm4D

Glad to share our published version: “ Genetic targeting of premyelinating oligodendrocytes reveals activity-dependent myelination mechanisms”, led by @AksheevB nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Excited to introduce four new mouse lines described in our recent study @YiheZhang97 (soon available from JAX), including two lines for studying TFEB in broader contexts (TFEB 6xMyc, JAX#041044; Rosa26-TFEBS141A;S210A-Halo, JAX#041043) and two new KI lines for myelinating OLs.

1/ Better late than never, here’s a long thread of threads summarizing our MOSAIC preprint. If you’re curious about the process by which a new microscope is conceived and brought into the world, this is the thread for you. If you’ve come for eye candy, there’s plenty of that too below. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our 7-year journey on glia-like taste cells is finally published in @CellCellPress! We report how the glia-like cells shape sweet adaptation on the tongue. Huge thanks to our lab members, especially Ghayeon & Geehyun, and collaborators @yulonglilab. cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…

New work from Yasmine Kamen shows that differentiating oligodendrocytes are filled with the zymogen procaspase-3. This provides a specific marker for new oligodendrocytes and suggests a role for this pathway in oligodendrocyte fate decisions. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our work with @schirmerlab in multiple sclerosis (MS) is out today in @NatureNeuro. We investigated lesion progression and cell-cell communication events in MS using snRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics 🧠 See below ⬇️ nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Agreed! That's why I wrote ggpubfigs, a ggplot2 extension that *only colorblind-friendly color palettes. Easily make your figures colorblind-friendly with ggpubfigs! xitter.cf/NKWhiteman/status/1852…

My second manuscript from graduate school is now on bioRxiv! We generated a comprehensive scRNA-seq dataset of mouse OPCs from young adult to aged animals with the hope of providing a reference dataset for everyone to dig into! tinyurl.com/aging-opcs
