Looking forward to seeing Canadian Glial Research highlights at CANGlia 2025 next week! @canglia.bsky.social @blacoste.bsky.social

#cerebrovascular

We are looking very much forward to hosting @franckp.bsky.social next week at our Neuroscience Seminar Series. Come join us for an exciting talk ! #seminar #neuroscience #Ottawa

#BloodBrainBarrier #Neurodegeneration

>500 signatures! So we should talk about this, am I right @mark-carney.bsky.social ?

BBB-crossing lipid nanoparticles to deliver mRNA to neurons and astrocytes, published at @naturematerials.bsky.social

We definitely had lots of fun at @cshlmeetings.bsky.social !

Interesting review by @talongden.bsky.social #cerebrovascular #pericytes

Many thanks for the kind invitation, hosting and all the fantastic discussions I had with faculty at the University of Ottawa! It was wonderful finally meeting the phenomenal @blacoste.bsky.social #Julie Ouellette after years of Zoom call discussions ;) more wins and power to collaborative science!

Late #FlorescenceFriday... I will not tell you what it is, but what I can tell you is this is from a very cool new project 😅😎

Interesting review! Blood-brain barrier dysfunction as a common feature in traumatic brain injury and Alzheimer’s disease #BloodBrainBarrier #cerebrovascular #review

A new review from our lab exploring how the blood-brain barrier (BBB) can be used as a treatment target for neurodegenerative disorders tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/... TL;DR → Here are a few key highlights 👇

Excited to share this paper that is a long time coming from the lab on epigenetic/transcriptional regulation of organotypic endothelial specialization out today @naturecvr.bsky.social go.nature.com/4krSJqh

TDP-43 deficiency in human ECs appears to contribute to #BloodBrainBarrier breakdown in neurodegeneration #cerebrovascular

If you are interested in glia, are in Canada (yes, Canadians have glia too), and coming to Toronto for @canacn.bsky.social, then you cannot miss our upcoming CANGlia satellite symposium! Please register and submit an abstract, we’ll see you there! 🥂
