Megan Doty et al discovered that myelin remains for weeks after cortical axons degenerate. We call the sheaths without an axon de-axoned myelin. During the slow, asynchronous, degeneration, microglia don't play a major role in clearing the axon or de-axoned myelin. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

When you share an office with the queen of the #axolotls (aidarodrigo.bsky.social) you also get to share the birthday joy! 🥳 Happy 2nd birthday to the OG axolotls (treats baked by Laura Arbanas and @cellysally.bsky.social’s daughter)

Our latest preprint, led by @lizihegarty.bsky.social & aided by @erinwatson.bsky.social shows that fixation time matters when it comes to visualising #macrophages in #salivarygland & other epithelia.We find 1hr allows detection of mac subsets while preserving architecture.

⏰ New preprint from @lizihegarty.bsky.social, @erinwatson.bsky.social, @bainlab.bsky.social & @doctoremmerson.bsky.social shows that 1hr in PFA-based fixative allows detection of #macrophage subsets in the #salivarygland, #pancreas & #kidney while preserving #epithelial & #endothelial architecture
